The English rock icon Sting is gearing up to offer fans an intimate concert experience starting this fall, with the Detroit Fillmore set to host the inaugural shows of his "Sting 3.0" tour on Sept. 17 and 18, as confirmed by Detroit Free Press. The legendary performer, renowned for his dynamic career since disbanding The Police, is no stranger to pushing boundaries, and it seems his new tour, which wraps up in Los Angeles on Nov. 13, aims to bring his vast array of hits into a raw, stripped-back setting.

Accompanying Sting on this two-month trek through North America's theaters are guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, an assembly that according to WXYZ is meant to breathe fresh life into the artist's expansive songbook with the "urgent lens of a tight three-piece combo" where the 2,000-seat Fillmore, is, expected to set the stage for one of Sting's most personal Detroit performances since 1999.

Tickets are slated to go on public sale from 10 a.m. Friday, March 15; however, fan club members and Citi and American Express cardholders are given presale privileges throughout this week, as detailed on WXYZ and 94.7 WCSX. The sale includes various VIP packages and experiences including premium tickets and limited edition memorabilia, which can be further explored at vipnation.com.

Sting, at 72, shows no signs of letting up, in a statement obtained by 94.7 WCSX, he has expressed a desire to emulate Sir Paul McCartney by potentially headlining festivals into his 80s, reflecting an enduring passion for live performance that this "3.0" tour seems to exemplify with stops scheduled in cities such as Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn, Miami, Chicago, and San Francisco, cementing his place as one of rock's indefatigable forces.
