Pop superstar and one of the finest songwriters of his generation
Sting leapt to international superstardom in the late 70s and early 80s as the frontman of new wave rockers The Police. With their muscular, radio-ready, reggae-flecked songs, the trio lodged themselves firmly in the upper echelons of the charts with hits including ‘Can’t Stand Losing’, ‘Don’t Stand So Close To Me’, ‘Message In A Bottle’, ‘So Lonely’ and ‘Roxanne’.
The band went on indefinite hiatus in the mid-80s and Sting struck out on his own, landing an instant hit with his first solo album The Dream Of The Blue Turtles. Over the course of the 80s and 90s, he released a string of hugely successful and critically acclaimed records including Nothing Like The Sun and the massive Ten Summoners Tales, and hit singles such as ‘All For One’, ‘Fields Of Gold’, ‘Englishman In New York’ and ‘Desert Rose’. In 2018, he collaborated with reggae pop star Shaggy on the album 44/876 before revisiting some of his most famous songs on the collection My Songs in 2019.
Over his 40-plus years in music, Sting has sold over 100 million records and amassed an incredible 18 Grammys, seven Ivor Novello Awards, an Emmy, a Golden Globe, four Oscar nominations and one Tony nomination. He’s been renowned for his activism – setting up the Rainforest Fund and working on behalf of Amnesty and Live Aid – and has acted in films including Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Dune and Quadrophenia.
In 2024 Sting launched his STING 3.0 World Tour, including a huge headline show at Lincoln Castle in summer 2025.

All good , good songs , just a very long time to get out of the venue
Words truly cannot express how utterly brilliant Sting was last evening. The man is just brilliant, and he is supported with incredible talent to create the 3 that perform so wonderfully together. I feel privileged to have been able to see & hear them.
Sting was incredible. His voice was phenomenal and sounded just like his records. He also looks amazing. The evening was like stepping back to my childhood and playing the Police records. A beautiful location as well.
Very special, classic , fantastic music. Legend👍👍👍👍👍
Sting himself plus the other acts were fab. Sadly the accessible area was very poorly manned. Was told it was over sold. Sadly had to leave at 9.15pm as able bodied people were dancing and vibration was making it to uncomfortable for myself and others to enjoy the show. When leaving two guys told me they were able to buy tickets outside and given the armband to allow them to stand on and see the show better because it was higher. Obviously never used this area before as im sure he wouldn't have said anything to myself and others. Staff member tried his best to get people comfortable but sadly his job made so much harder when others came into the area with the bands on! He couldn't ask them to leave.
Sting was on point with a great sound stage. Very enjoyable evening in a lovely historic setting. Only slightly marred by security kids telling me I had a lot of cash for a cashless event. I couldn't believe their cheek. Cardiff Castle need to do better in staff training and teach these upstarts some manners.
Sting was amazing The venue was well organisedl. Clearly sign posted. Plenty of clean facilities,toilets refillable water points, bars and food outlets.
Great gig and a venue, the Lilacs are raising star in my opinion. Plenty of space to sit down and later to stand. Good acoustics
Did not expect sting to be as good as he was! Considering his age etc assumed hed have slowed down etc but he was fantastic x
Great gig. Sting and his 2 band members put on a great show, outstanding musicianship, a fab selection of Sting and Police songs, a happy crowd who were all thoroughly enjoying themselves and a superb well organised outdoor venue catering to all needs. The gig felt personal with Sting engaging with the crowd and clearly enjoyed performing too. As an interesting aside, Sting seems to be moving strongly towards the Christian faith, as reflected in his recent songwriting and comments during the show- keep coming Sting, Jesus loves you!
Sting performed great!This was unforgettable experience and night on our 22 anniversary!
Sting was very good and most of everything else was good apart from a couple of things. Firstly, after paying to park a few weeks before, when we actually parked, at no point did anyone ask for our ticket! Anyone could have parked for free!! Also, my friend had forgotten she had a small bottle of perfume in her bag and was made to take it all the way back to the car. Perhaps some small lockers to place these kind of items in would be very nice. Also, why such imposing fencing around the vip seating area?? Really disappointed with the view from the other side ☹️ We've been quite a few times and this was the first time that we felt like second class citizens. Might think twice next year 🤔
Sting has excellent backup by his guitarist and drummer who are both very talented and complement each other. Sting still has that wonderful gravely voice and is a real crowd pleaser. The concert itself was magic and the venue was well crafted and many thanks to all the staff who were very helpful and supportive in keeping the area safe. What a great atmosphere.
Sting was on stage in Cannock chase and a brilliant night was had by all who went to see him, obviously the weather being dry and warm helped but even saying that it's sting at the end of the day and I've been a fan since the police were on stage back in the day , so if you have a favourite artist playing at Cannock chase do yourselves a favour and get a ticket, it's a great place to hold a concert
Fantastic live performance sting was unbelievable loved it.
Good night of entertainment all the acts were outstanding
Great venue, BIP a little expensive for what you got, but overall fantastic And sting didn't disappoint he was awesome!
Easy to park. Helpful and pleasant staff. Brilliant music. Will attend future festivals if there're on and I like the artists. Would have been 5 stars if I wasn't forced to pay a levy on glasses when the drinks were already expensive.
Great venue, Sting in remarkable shape and good mix of Sting and Police
Fantastic concert, loved every minute. Sting was and is amazing. There was a fantastic atmosphere and the venue was great as everyone had a good view.
