The Police Announce Last Show Ever
The Police |
The Police, along with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, held a press conference today (May 6) in Times Square and announced the band's final concert ever will be held in New York in August. Details on specific date and tickets will be revealed soon.
"We kicked off our very first American tour at CBGB's in 1978 and this summer, thirty years later, our journey will come full circle as we play our final show here in New York City," said The Police.
The band also announced that their final concert will be a fundraiser with proceeds benefiting the production of arts programming for Thirteen/WNET and WLIW New York. Tickets will be available nationally online via Thirteen/WNET and WLIW.
Sting and the Police also announced that they will contribute $1 million to Mayor Bloomberg's MillionTreesNYC initiative - which aims to plant 1 million trees across all five of New York City's boroughs by 2017. At the press conference, Sting said: "Some people may be surprised to know that the greatest single contribution to greenhouse gases is deforestation. We all want cleaner and cooler air, and planting trees is the best way to achieve that.
The Police are on tour now, dates available here...
