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.
With the Summer Of Sting just around the corner, it's time to rank his best tracks
It was such a memorable performance enhanced by the wonderful weather and beautiful setting of pine trees. Sting and his two band members sounded so good - all very talented but his performance is on a different level to most live performances. You have to see him! It makes me want to see more summer concerts at this venue.
This was the most relaxing fantastic gig I have been too. The venue Thetford forrest high lodge puts a smile on your face straight away .It's like being wrapped in nature. Sting and his duo gave a masterclass in live performance and entertainment proving some voices don't age and a good live human musician can always wow a crowd. Fantastic night
We had Glade VIP tickets. The organisation was slick and the marshalls happy and engaging. There was loads of seating and a short bar queue, which made the extra cost worth it. This has not always been our experience at other outdoor venues. It was difficult to find any info on support acts and running times. This was commented on by others we spoke to as well. Sting was just brilliant. Just him, a guitarist and drummer. No gimmicks, no flashing lights, no fireworks, no confetti canons, no changing guitars with every song. Just 3 tight professionals producing amazing music.
This is an evening to remember. He may be a seasoned professional with nothing to prove but that didn't stop Sting delivering a faultless, relaxed and engaging performance. With his cheeky sense of humour and personality he captivated the audience who reacted by dancing and singing along with all the hits. The arena at Thetford Forest was perfect, helped by warm summer weather and beautiful surroundings. We look forward to the next time!
Wow, had a great time at Sherwood Pines to see Sting. It was an awesome show.
Amazing , I never thought I would get to see sting live, let along with my dad who is a big fan. And he didn't disappoint. He was superb. The arena was set out well . We sat near the back but had a really good view of the stage and screens . It was just a shame that the car park wasn't better organised. It took us an hour to get out of the car park.
The Setting, The Weather and most all The Artist. Playing as a 3 piece simply incredible!
He was just the best, as always. Slightly biased as a life time fan, but her never fails to be awesome. He was much chattier this time, I think he was glad to be outside in a beautiful venue with superb weather. Look out radio 2 park goers because this will be the best performance of the weekend. Trust me 😉
He's just there best live. Slightly biased as I'm a life time fan but he never ever fails to be awesome. He was much chattier this time, I think he just loved being outside on a beautiful evening. Look out Glastonbury because this will be the best performance of the entire festival. Trust me.
Fantastic location at Sherwood Park, very well organised. Have to say it was one of the best concerts I have seen. Stings vocals and musicianship was outstanding as too was his band. Fantastic classic and new songs in an amazing setting. Eveyone chilled enjoying their picnics and day. Wonderful experience. He was just in another league. Well informed by Ticketmaster well done and thank you.
