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.”
