Currently garnering stellar reviews throughout North America, Sting and his Back to Bass Tour will be coming to South Africa on the 24thand 25thMarch 2012 at the Coca-Cola Dome, Johannesburg and the 27th and 28th March 2012 at the Grand Arena, GrandWest Cape Town. Presented in partnership with 94.7 Kfm, 94.7 Highveld Stereo and M-Net
“…an exquisite performance…”

“...A sonic adventure that revisits past triumphs and explores some lesser-known gems…”
The Toronto Star, Nov. 2, 2011
In support of Sting: 25 Years, the recently released box set collection, Back to Bass finds Sting performing songs spanning his dynamic and enduring solo career, from his 1985 debut ‘The Dream of the Blue Turtles’ to his latest release, ‘Live in Berlin’, plus a selection of The Police’s greatest hits. Highlights include the Grammy winners “Brand New Day” and “If I Ever Lose My Faith in You” plus fan-favourites “Englishman in New York,” “Desert Rose” and “Roxanne”. Sting will be joined by a band including his longtime guitarist Dominic Miller, Rufus Miller (guitarist), Vinnie Colaiuta (drummer), Peter Tickell (electric fiddle), and Jo Lawry (vocalist).
The definitive box set, Sting: 25 Years, captures for the first time both the highlights and rarities of Sting’s enduring solo career. This collection contains three CDs, all re-mastered exclusively for this set and personally curated by Sting, as well as a previously unreleased live DVD, Rough, Raw & Unreleased, filmed at New York City’s Irving Plaza. The discs are housed in a hardcover book featuring rare photos, complete lyrics, and newly written commentary by Sting. The Best of 25 Years is also available as a double disc.
Members of the Sting fan club will have the opportunity to purchase tickets in advance with complete tour and ticket information at www.sting.com.
Another Big Concerts Experience. The tour is promoted by Live Nation and produced by RZO Entertainment, Inc.
