He returns to the UAE capital on April 3, 2025…

He’s performed twice in Abu Dhabi in the last two years, and it seems he just can’t get enough of his UAE fans, as British music icon Sting is returning to the capital next year.

Sting, the British songwriting stalwart with classics such as Desert Rose and Englishman in New York in his hit-making repertoire, will bring his STING 3.0 world tour to the Etihad Arena on April 3, 2025.

The 17-time Grammy Award winner will perform alongside virtuoso guitarist and longtime collaborator, Dominic Miller, and dynamic drummer Chris Maas (Mumford & Sons, Maggie Rogers). The band promise to deliver all the best-loved songs from Sting’s extensive discography as a solo artist and his time in renowned band The Police when they headline next year.

Tickets are priced from Dhs395, and pre-sale will start from 12pm on Wednesday October 23. For the first pre-sale, members of Sting’s Fan Club will be able to get their hands on tickets, which you can register for via  sting.com. Thereafter, the Live Nation pre-sale begins from 12pm on Thursday October 24 at 12pm. The general on sale will begin Friday March 15 at 12 pm local time on livenation.me.

Those who snag tickets to the Sting gig in Abu Dhabi are in for an audio treat, with STING 3.0 a dynamic show of his most iconic hits from an illustrious stint in the music world. His career, which spans six decades, has seen Sting sell over 100 million records worldwide, racking up an array of awards that include three Brit Awards, a Golden Globe and an Emmy.

Presented by Live Nation, this musical journey will see fans of this Englishman [not] in New York bring his Message in a Bottle to Fields of Gold in Abu Dhabi. With Every Breath You Take, you’ll be taken on a nostalgic journey through Sting’s diverse musical repertoire.

After his sellout performances at Etihad Arena in January 2023, and then a follow-up show at Saadiyat Nights in February 2024, STING 3.0 in April 2025 is one fans won’t want to miss.
