Sting Announces Massive 2026 “Sting 3.0” World Tour , Full Calendar of 90+ Shows Revealed

Sting is leaving no corner of the map untouched in 2026.

The 17-time Grammy winner has laid out the most ambitious touring schedule of his “Sting 3.0” era , a globe-spanning itinerary that will see him perform more than 90 shows across four continents, from an extended Paris residency that kicked off this week to a climactic six-night stand at Brooklyn's Paramount Theatre in November.

Performing as a stripped-down power trio with longtime guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, the “Sting 3.0” format reimagines the artist's deep catalog , Police classics and solo staples alike , in lean, raw arrangements that have earned near-universal critical praise since the concept launched in 2023.

Paris and Brisbane: Residency-Scale Runs

The year opened with a marathon Paris residency at La Seine Musicale, running from February 18 through March 7 with 15 performances including matinees. Sting now turns his attention to an even larger residency in Brisbane, Australia, where he'll perform 24 shows at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre from April 9 through May 3, including afternoon matinees.

Spring North American Leg

Sting returns to North America in May for a 13-date swing through the South and East Coast. Stops include Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL (May 6), a three-night stand at Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA (May 21-23), and shows across Texas, Georgia, and the Carolinas. The spring leg culminates with a residency at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City , nine performances running June 9-14, with both matinee and evening shows.

European Summer Festival Circuit

The summer belongs to Europe. Beginning June 17 in Zagreb, Sting winds through 22 cities across Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, and beyond. Highlights include Umbria Jazz in Perugia (July 3), the Nîmes Arena Festival (July 6), Barcelona's Les Nuits festival (July 7), shows in the Canary Islands, and a stop at Romania's UNTOLD Festival (August 6).
