The Police Announce FINAL Concert Ever! Plus Donate $1 Mil To Planting Trees In NYC

Posted about 1 year ago
"Woop Woop - it's the sound of The Police..."The Police will sound off for the last time with a concert in NYC in August. The band will play its final concert ever, a fundraiser benefiting arts programming on public tv stations WNET and WLIW in NY. In addition to the concert proceeds going to a good cause, Sting and The Police will contribute $1 million to the MillionTreesNYC project, which the city will match! The MillionTreesNYC initiative plants trees all over NYC. The exact date of this final performance has not yet been announced, nor have the ticket or venue info. There's a lot of mystery here, but if you need to see The Police perform ever again, start booking those flights and hotels in NYC!More info on Billboard.comMore about MillionTreesNYC:

  1. getafade says Yes, but is it really their final concert ever? I'm tired of bands making this claim, only to come out of retirement for *one more* payday.

  4. mollifire says i know, i groaned as i wrote it. if they announce any future concerts, everyone will just roll their eyes, so it would be pointless...

  5. Chuck Guest says Yes, it will be their last show as The Police. Then they rename themselves (The Thieves?) and break the bank again. Let's all move on, shall we?

  6. jaggerandrea says While many bands may be guilty of (what just about every comment I've seen yet says), I believe what The Police says.....and I am thankful that I got to see them on the Synchronicity tour as well as this one. They are not only in this for the $$, not by far...they played amazingly still, after over 20 years. Do you really think Sting was hurting for money? Or Andy or Stewart, for that matter...they've been very involved musically and have been doing well, just not so much in the spotlight as Sting. Please don't base their announcement as being groundless just because other bands have been guilty of it.
