What to Expect From the Show

Police Deranged for Orchestra pairs a 28-piece orchestra with a rock trio and three vocalists, turning the band’s hits into large-scale symphonic arrangements. The set draws on songs such as “Roxanne,” “Message in a Bottle,” “Don’t Stand So Close to Me,” “Every Breath You Take,” “Walking on the Moon” and “Can’t Stand Losing You.”

For the Australian leg, Copeland will perform alongside local ensembles, including the Adelaide Symphony, Perth Symphony, Brisbane Symphony, The Met Orchestra and Australian Pops Orchestra. Conductor Sarah-Grace Williams is set to lead all five Australian performances, backed by a touring rock band featuring Mike Mills of Toehider and Nick Delaney.

The Australian dates represent Copeland’s first live shows in the country in nearly 20 years, going back to The Police’s 2007 to 2008 reunion tour.

Stewart Copeland on the Tour

Copeland reflected on the production’s run so far and his own evolution as a performer, saying in a press release: “I have had a great run with this show, starting five years ago with the great symphonic orchestras of North America and further exotic orchestras around the world… Police Deranged has always burned down the house… And your humble servant is getting slicker on those drums with every show.”
