Sting

On 12 July 2026, Sting performs at the Concert Music Festival in Poblado Sancti Petri, Chiclana de la Frontera. A singer, bassist and songwriter born in Newcastle, he first came to prominence with The Police in the late 1970s, with a blend of rock, reggae and pop marked by an instantly recognizable voice. Since the 1980s, his solo career has broadened his palette with nods to jazz and sonorities from various horizons. Albums such as The Dream of the Blue Turtles, Nothing Like the Sun, Ten Summoner’s Tales and Brand New Day establish a precise songwriting voice and a taste for carefully crafted arrangements.

Live, Sting typically revisits different phases of his repertoire, from the trio era to his solo work, with a band that underscores the rhythmic pulse and melodic nuances. Between taut riffs, reggae-tinged grooves and more intimate passages, the concert traces a journey across several decades of songs without forcing contrasts, attentive to instrumental detail and vocal dynamics. It is an encounter with a songbook that crosses genres naturally and that continues to work on stage thanks to its balance of energy and subtlety.
