– Music legend Sting is set to perform two nights at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater in Bend on May 25th and 26th as part of his “Sting 3.0” tour. This tour sees the former frontman of The Police returning to a power trio format, accompanied by guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas.
Born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, Sting has been a dominant force in the music industry for over four decades. Rising to fame as the lead singer and bassist of The Police in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Sting has since carved out a highly successful solo career. With 17 Grammy Awards and over 100 million records sold worldwide, he has consistently pushed musical boundaries, blending rock, jazz, reggae, and world music influences.
The “Sting 3.0” tour promises a dynamic performance showcasing Sting’s iconic vocals and songwriting talents. Fans can expect to hear a mix of classic hits from The Police era, such as “Roxanne” and “Every Breath You Take,” alongside solo favorites like “Fields of Gold” and “Desert Rose.” The stripped-down trio format is expected to bring a fresh, intimate feel to these well-known songs.
The Bend shows are part of a larger U.S. leg that includes stops at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and other key cities. Before arriving in Bend, Sting will be performing at Red Rocks Amphitheater and Wheatland, CA.
The tour also includes several co-headlining shows with Billy Joel, though some of those dates have been pushed into 2026 due to Joel’s medical condition. Before the US, Sting will be touring in Europe and the U.K.. He also has an appearance at Reggae Rise Up 2025 in Florida with Shaggy, revisiting their successful collaboration from their 44/876 album.
Known for his environmental and human rights activism, Sting has often used his platform to raise awareness for various causes. It remains to be seen if the Bend performances will incorporate any of these elements, but fans can certainly expect an evening of world-class musicianship and timeless songs.
Tickets for the Bend shows are on sale now. Fans can secure their tickets through Ticketmaster. Given Sting’s enduring popularity and the intimate setting of the Hayden Homes Amphitheater, these shows are expected to sell out quickly. Don’t miss the chance to experience Sting in this intimate trio setting as he brings his signature sound to Central Oregon.
