Sting has been tipped to perform material from his solo projects as well as songs from the iconic catalogue of The Police on the tour.

He sold his entire songwriting catalogue to Universal Music Publishing Group in a deal earlier this year in February. The deal, which was reportedly worth over $250 million, includes the rights to all of Sting’s solo songs and the songs he wrote for The Police. In a statement, Sting explained the rationale behind the move, saying, “It is absolutely essential to me that my career’s body of work have a home where it is valued and respected – not only to connect with longtime fans in new ways but also to introduce my songs to new audiences, musicians and generations.”

The Asian tour dates for Sting’s ‘My Songs’ 2023 tour are:

March: 
08 – Sun Plaza – Hiroshima, Japan
09 – Castle Hall – Osaka, Japan
11 – Ariake Arena – Tokyo, Japan
12 – Ariake Arena – Tokyo, Japan
14 – Gaishi Hall – Nagoya, Japan
