Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning Friday July 13th at 10AM local time at www.ticketmaster.com and usual outlets.  Members of the official ‪Sting.com‬‬‬ fan club will have the opportunity to purchase tickets in advance ‪beginning Tuesday, July 10th.‬‬‬ Please visit www.sting.com/tour for details.

 

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.” 

 

Along with continuing each artist’s exploration of reggae and its transcendent rhythms, songs like “Don’t Make Me Wait,” “Morning is Coming,” and “Gotta Get Back My Baby” reveal Sting and Shaggy’s shared passion for creating timeless music that defies expectation.

 

‪On May 25‬‬‪, 44/876: The Remixes was released on A&M/Interscope Records, featuring an albums’ worth of remixes of songs from their album by a diverse range of artists including Chris Baio of Vampire Weekend, the Brazilian duo Tropkillaz, Cherry Cherry Boom Boom (Madonna, Lady Gaga) and Grammy-award winning producer Dave Audé, among others (track listing included below). ‬‬‬‬

 

Sting and Shaggy will be joined on the 44/876 Tour by Sting’s players ‪Dominic Miller‬‬‬ (guitar), ‪Josh Freese‬‬‬ (drums) and Rufus Miller (guitar) as well as Shaggy’s band members Melissa Musique (backing vocals), Gene Noble (backing vocals) and Kevon Webster (keyboards). 

 

The tour is produced by RZO Entertainment and promoted by Live Nation Global Touring.
