Sting has announced details of two special, intimate shows at The Sage in Gateshead. Full dates and ticket details are below.
The solo icon and former Police frontman, who was born in neighbouring Wallsend, will be playing songs from The Last Ship to mark the venue's 10th anniversary.
"The Last Ship is a musical allegory set in Wallsend, the town where I was born and raised," he said in a statement. "The demise of industry, not only in shipyards like Tyneside and Gdansk, but also great manufacturing centres like Detroit, has been well documented and the effect of that demise on the identity and future of local communities particularly resonates with me. I'm very much looking forward to bringing these songs and stories home.
"The North East has a great creative atmosphere and legacy. The Sage sits proudly at its cultural heart and I'm always happy to support it."
Sting's Sage dates are below. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 1 September. For tickets and more information, visit here.
