Sting stretches Brooklyn residency to eight nights

Fiction Plane support the full run, tickets go on general sale on 2 October, and the autumn North American leg still opens in Vancouver on 5 October.

Sting has added two further shows at Brooklyn Paramount, on 20 and 21 November 2026, extending his Sting 3.0 residency at the venue to eight nights. The new dates sit alongside the six already set for 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18 November.

Fiction Plane will appear as special guest across the eight-show run. The Brooklyn stretch forms part of the tour’s autumn North American leg, presented by Cherrytree Music Company and Live Nation, which opens on 5 October 2026 in Vancouver and closes on 25 November in Hollywood, Florida. Sting is performing as a trio with guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas in stripped-down arrangements that put the songs and the three players at the centre of the stage.

A presale for Sting.com members for the two added Brooklyn nights opened on 29 September at 10am local time. General sale begins on 2 October. Sting announced the added dates on his official website.

Trio form, long catalogue

Gordon Sumner, known as Sting, came to prominence as frontman, songwriter and bassist with The Police from 1977 until the band's break-up in 1986. He began a solo career in 1985 and has moved freely since then between rock, jazz, reggae, classical and worldbeat. The early solo records set the pattern: The Dream of the Blue Turtles in 1985 and ...Nothing Like the Sun in 1987 treated the catalogue as something to be rearranged rather than fixed. Later studio work, including The Bridge in 2021, continued that habit of motion.

Sting 3.0 continues in the same vein. Ahead of the present tour he released the single “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)” and the live album Sting 3.0 Live, the latter listed in 2025. The reduced line-up is not a retreat from the larger productions that have marked some of his stadium runs; it is a deliberate frame in which familiar material can be heard again without the weight of a full band. Miller has been a constant collaborator across decades of solo work; Maas completes the three-piece that carries the current dates.

An eight-night stand in one room is denser than a single pass through a city. For an artist whose career has often been defined by scale — arenas with The Police, later solo tours built for large halls — a residency of this length in trio form is a different kind of booking. It asks for night-to-night variation rather than a fixed set delivered once and left behind, and it places the Brooklyn Paramount run at the centre of the autumn itinerary rather than as a stop among many.

What the dates still hold

The North American leg has not yet begun. Vancouver on 5 October remains the first date; Hollywood, Florida on 25 November remains the last. Between those points the extended Brooklyn residency is now the heaviest cluster on the route — eight consecutive opportunities to hear the trio tackle the catalogue in the same room, with Fiction Plane opening each night.

Tickets for 20 and 21 November move to general sale on 2 October. How the set lists settle across eight nights, and whether further dates are added before the leg closes, is not yet known. What is fixed is the shape of the project: trio, stripped arrangements, a live album already out, and a North American run that now gives Brooklyn more weight than any other city on the route.
