British singer Sting is set to return to the UAE after nine years with his much-loved 'My Songs' concert next year.

The 17-time Grammy Award winner will perform hits from his illustrious career both with The Police and as a solo artist at Abu Dhabi's Etihad Arena on January 27, 2023.

It'll feature Fields of Gold, Shape of my Heart, Roxanne and Demolition Man, to Englishman In New York, Every Breath You Take, Roxanne, Message In A Bottle and many more. 

Sting will be accompanied by an electric, rock ensemble, with Joe Sumner stepping in as "special guest", confirmed The Cherrytree Music Company and Live Nation.

After a sold out six-night residency at the London Palladium, Sting was praised as "near peerless" by The Guardian with "sublime pop alchemy" and The Times hailed it as "a masterclass".

Tickets, starting from AED 395, will go on sale at 12 noon on Friday, September 23, on Ticketmaster and Etihad Arena.

Members of Sting’s Fan Club will have access to exclusive pre-sale tickets prior to the general public by heading to his official website.
