Following their European summer dates, Sting & Shaggy have announced a North American tour this fall. The duo are set to play songs from their recently-released, island-flavoured album, 44/876 and to collaborate on each other’s most celebrated hits such as ‘Every Breath You Take,’ ‘Englishman In New York,’ ‘Message In A Bottle,’ ‘It Wasn’t Me,’ ‘Mr. Boombastic’ and ‘Angel.’

Kicking off in Miami ‪on 15 September at The Fillmore Miami Beach, Sting & Shaggy: The 44/876 Tour will make stops at various venues along the way including Atlanta’s Tabernacle, The Theater at MGM National Harbor in Washington, Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom, plus additional Fillmore plays in both Philadelphia and Denver, before culminating at The Wiltern in Los Angeles ‪on 15 October 15. The full itinerary is below.

Tickets will go on sale to the public ‪beginning Thursday, 24 May at 10am local time(s) at Ticketmaster and the usual outlets. Every online ticket purchase includes one physical or digital copy of Sting and Shaggy’s album, 44/876. Members of the official ‪Sting fan club will have the opportunity to purchase tickets in advance ‪beginning Monday, May 21.

Sting and Shaggy initially joined forces to record a new song, ‘Don’t Make Me Wait’ (which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s digital reggae singles chart), as a tribute to the Caribbean sounds that influenced them both and ended up recording an entire album full of joyful and uplifting, melodic music. With its title referencing their respective telephone country codes (44 for the UK, Sting’s birthplace and 876 for Jamaica, Shaggy’s homeland), 44/876 honors the duo’s deep-rooted love for Jamaica: Shaggy’s birthplace, and where Sting penned such classics as ‘Every Breath You Take.’

Also on 25 May, Sting and Shaggy will perform in NYC’s Central Park for Good Morning America’s Summer Concert series.  Fans interested in attending the free concert should arrive to Rumsey Playfield via the 72nd Street entrance on Fifth Avenue at 6AM when the park opens to the public.
