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

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."

In the United States, members of Best Buy's Reward Zone program will
have the opportunity to access tickets prior to the general public. To
qualify for the presale, participants need to be 18 years old or older and
must have a current Reward Zone program membership that was activated by
February 1, 2007. Presale tickets will be sold through Ticketmaster on a
first come first served basis. Complete details of the Reward Zone program
presale can be found at http://www.bestbuy.com/thepolice. Information about the
Canadian concert dates can be found at http://www.bestbuy.ca/thepolice.

Special guest Fiction Plane will join The Police for the North American
portion of the tour. Known for their high-energy live shows, this dynamic
rock trio will be releasing their 2nd full length album in May. Fiction
Plane are: Joe Sumner (Bass); Seton Daunt (Guitar); Pete Wilhoit (Drums).
Additional support artists will be announced in the coming weeks.

A portion of the proceeds from this tour will be donated to WaterAid,
an international NGO founded in 1981 and dedicated to reducing poverty by
improving access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education. Working
in 17 of the world's poorest countries, WaterAid and its partners have
already helped over 10 million people gain access to water and sanitation
and is committed to helping to reduce by half the proportion of people
living without these basic necessities of life by 2015.

$225.00, $90.00 and $50.00 in most markets (plus applicable service fees)
and will go on sale beginning this Saturday, February 17th in Vancouver,
