Police kick off reunion tour in Vancouver

The Police kicked off their 30th anniversary reunion tour with an arresting Message - in a Bottle. The sold-out crowd at GM Place in Vancouver, on hand for the tour's official opening Monday night, screamed their appreciation as the legendary eighties trio dove into their hit song from 1979's Regatta de Blanc.
The Globe & Mail - May 29, 2007.

Performing the first of two sold out concerts to a capacity crowd of over 20,000, last night's world tour opener in Vancouver with The Police was a resounding success with fans and critics united in their enthusiastic endorsement of what many believe will definitely be the tour of the year.

From the opening notes of Message In A Bottle through a set list which included Roxanne, Synchronicity, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Every Breath You Take, When The World Is Running Down, Spirits In The Material World to name a few of the mega-hits The Police performed, the energy that Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers exuded on stage was matched only by the exuberant response of the audience.

With over 1,770,000 tickets sold to date and more concerts to be announced, The Police tour is definitely one of the hottest tickets of the year. North American tour highlights include headline performances at this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on June 16th and the Virgin Festival on August 4th as well as additional appearances at Boston's historic Fenway Park, Chicago's Wrigley Field and Churchill Downs - home of the Kentucky Derby. The Police will also play three Los Angeles area performances at Staples Center, Dodger Stadium and the Honda Center in Anaheim and multiple dates in New York, including Madison Square Garden and Giants Stadium.

Following the European tour, The Police will return to North America beginning October 31st at New York's Madison Square Garden, followed by Boston's TD Banknorth Garden on November 11th. Tickets for both these performances will go on sale Monday, June 4th. Additional fall dates to be announced will include performances in Mexico and South America followed by 2008 performances in Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
