Well, Police fans, it’s not going to end here.
Though it looked like the final shows of the Police reunion would be at the Nikon Theater at Jones Beach on Aug. 4 and 5, Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland, along with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, announced that the band’s actual final concert would be held in New York and that it would be a fundraiser for public television stations WNET and WLIW. The date and venue weren’t announced at the press conference, though it is expected to be an indoor venue and not Central Park. No ticket information was released, though the TV stations’ websites will be handling distribution.
“We kicked off our very first American tour at CBGB's in 1978 and this summer, 30 years later, our journey will come full circle as we play our final show here in New York City,” The Police said in a statement. We are honored to partner with public television and have a deep respect for their commitment to arts and culture.
