The tour reunites the two music icons, who first toured together in the 1980s; they’ll be performing together and in separate sets on this outing. The tour will stop June 30 at The Palace of Auburn Hills. “We’ll do two songs together, and then we’ll choose who will do a set on their own, 15/ 20 minutes, and then we’ll come together again”.
Sting says the tour announced Tuesday will be similar to one with Paul Simon about a year ago.
The duo previously toured together for Amnesty International in 1986 and 1988.
Sting joined in Gabriel’s sentiment, saying, “I’m very happy that we’re taking the chance to experiment this way. I think people will be intrigued, I certainly am”, Sting said in an official statement.
Tickets for the show go on sale February 1 at 10 a.m. and include Summerfest admission.
