Fresh off a headlining set to kick off last weekend’s Reggae Rise Up, Sting already has plans to return to Tampa Bay.

This morning, Tampa’s Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino said the “Sting 3.0” tour is coming to the Hard Rock Event Center this fall.

The tour finds the 73-year-old co-founder of The Police joined by longtime collaborator, guitarist Dominic Miller, and Chris Maas, the touring drummer for Mumford & Sons and Maggie Rogers.

A press release says the 3.0 tour is inspired by a new song, “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart),” and “represents a new dynamic era showcasing selections from his vast catalog through the urgent lens of a tight three-piece combo.”

The Tampa show is one of three Florida dates for the Sting 3.0 tour, which also stops in Hollywood (Nov. 7, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino) and Jacksonville (Nov. 11, Daily’s Place).

Fans who want to get a taste of Sting’s 3.0 lineup should make plans for Record Store Day (Saturday, April 12) when select independent record shops will have a 180g featuring 17 live cuts spread across four sides, including the live-recorded debut of “Can’t Stand Losing You.”

Tickets to see the Sting 3.0 tour at the Hard Rock Event Center in Tampa on Monday, Nov. 10 will go on sale to the public on Friday, March 10 and start at $250.
