The "STING 3.0" World Tour launched in Europe this summer and recently kicked off its North American leg to rave reviews:

 

“It was the kind of night — world-class performers, and performance, in an intimate space — that gets talked about for years.” (Oakland Press)

 

It was the sort of show that connected the broader artistic dots, from the crisply syncopated Police stuff to his jazz-kissed solo excursions, while showcasing the songwriting that runs as the through line to it all.” (Detroit Free Press)

 

Known for his groundbreaking work as a solo artist and as the front man and songwriter in the seminal group The Police, Sting, managed by Martín Kierszenbaum/Cherrytree Music Company, has consistently pushed the boundaries of musical innovation throughout his illustrious career.

 

The "STING 3.0" Tour represents a new dynamic era showcasing selections from his vast catalog through the urgent lens of a tight three-piece combo and inspired his new song,  "I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)" mixed by 4-time Grammy Award-winning mix engineer Robert Orton released on September 5 on Cherrytree Music Company/Interscope Records.

The headlining shows for TK Maxx presents Depot Live at Cardiff Castle are presented by promoters DEPOT Live and Cuffe and Taylor.

Nick Saunders from DEPOT Live said: "We're incredibly excited to kick off our 2025 announcements by welcoming Sting back to Cardiff Castle for a truly unforgettable performance."

 

Sting is the first headline artist announced for TK Maxx presents DEPOT Live at Cardiff Castle in 2025, following a bumper summer of 18 shows in 2024. More than 170,000 live music fans attended shows from the likes of Welsh superstars Manic Street Preachers and Catfish And The Bottlemen, as well as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Tom Grennan and Avril Lavigne.
