From the Press Released


And the first few Dates dont have a detroit Date but will be on the tour soon.

--------------------------------------------

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Following an
electrifying rehearsal performance at The Whiskey on Los Angeles' Sunset
Strip, The Police today confirmed their highly-anticipated concert tour
will begin on May 28th in Vancouver, playing arenas, some stadiums & making
some special appearances throughout North America. Some of the North
American tour highlights announced include a headline performance at this
year's June 16th Bonnaroo Festival, an appearance at Boston's historic
Fenway Park on July 28th and two Madison Square Garden performances in New
York City on August 1 and 3. Concert dates were also confirmed in Seattle,
Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, New Orleans, St. Louis, Toronto and
Montreal.

Arthur Fogel, Live Nation Chairman of Global Music, also announced that
the tour will continue this fall with dates in the UK and Europe, including
appearances in Holland, Germany, Italy and France with additional countries
to be announced. Additional dates in Mexico, South America, Japan,
Australia and New Zealand are anticipated. "The anticipation and excitement
to see The Police is overwhelming and I am absolutely thrilled to be a part
of bringing the band to their fans worldwide," said Mr. Fogel.

In 1977, The Police stormed the music scene by blending reggae, punk,
jazz and rock. Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers created an
unmistakably nuanced sound filled with evocative melodies, infectious
lyrics and rock & roll swagger. The Police dominated the top of the charts
and radio airwaves worldwide with five #1 albums and a succession of top 10
hit singles. In the six years they were together, The Police became one of
the world's most famous bands, earning six Grammy Awards and countless fans
around the globe.

The North American tour is presented by Best Buy, the leading consumer
electronics retailer with nearly 1,000 retail locations in the United
States and Canada. "The Police Live in Concert is one of the most
anticipated musical events of this decade," said Gary Arnold, senior vice
president of entertainment for Best Buy. "We are proud to be able to help
bring this event to music fans and to be able to offer our best customers a
chance to experience this incredible tour."

rock trio will be releasing their 2nd full length album in May. Fiction
