Peter Gabriel & Sting Announce Tour

Peter Gabriel and Sting have announced the Rock Paper Scissors joint concert tour. The two iconic recording artists will appear together across North America this coming June and July.

The co-bills will feature former Genesis frontman Gabriel and former The Police frontman Sting on stage together and separately, playing songs from both musician’s catalogs with both backing bands intermingling. The two musicians previously toured together in the 1980s in support of Amnesty International.

“What intrigues me is that you get a good bunch of musicians together and interesting things will happen,” Gabriel said in a statement.

“I’m very happy that we’re taking the chance to experiment this way,” added Sting. “I think people will be intrigued, I certainly am.”

Tickets for the Rock Paper Scissors Tour will go on sale starting January 25 with a pre-sale beginning today. More information can be found at www.livenation.com, www.petergabriel.com and www.sting.com.
