Xerox Presents Symphonicity: Sting Performing His Most Celebrated Songs Featuring the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra Conducted by Steven Mercurio

New Sting Album, SYMPHONICITIES, to be Released this Summer on Deutsche Grammophon

LONDON, May 19, 2010 - Live Nation announced today that Sting, accompanied by the Royal
Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, will extend his world tour to Europe and the
UK this autumn. The Symphonicity tour, commencing in Vancouver on June 2,
followed by sold-out performances across North America throughout the summer,
will find Sting performing his most celebrated songs re-imagined for
symphonic arrangement. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will be
conducted by Maestro Steven Mercurio (Pavarotti, Bocelli).

Presented in a variety of settings, the European tour will begin
September 3 at Oslo's Konserthus followed by a September 5 performance at the
Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. On October 5, Sting, accompanied by Northern
Sinfonia Orchestra, will perform a special concert in his hometown at The
Sage Gateshead. Also announced today are performances at other prestigious
venues such as London's Royal Albert Hall on October 1, Teatro Verdi in
Florence on October 25, Teatro Arcimboldi in Milan on November 2, and Santa
Cecilia in Rome on November 10. Additionally, September will find the tour
making stops in Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin, Koln and Paris, followed by
concerts in Dublin, Nantes, Antwerp, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Stuttgart
throughout October, with additional performances in Turin and Vienna in
November.

Drawing from a diverse and illustrious career that has produced numerous
multi-platinum albums, a staggering list of number one songs, countless
accolades and worldwide record sales of nearly 100 million, Sting's greatest
hits will be reinterpreted with brand new orchestrations arranged by Jorge
Calandrelli, David Hartley, Michel Legrand, Rob Mathes, Vince Mendoza, Steven
Mercurio, Bill Ross, Robert Sadin, and Nicola Tescari. Selections, created
especially for this tour, will include fan-favorites such as "Roxanne," "Next
To You," "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and "Every Breath You Take,"
to notable songs from Sting's enduring solo career - "Englishman in New
York," "Fragile," "Russians," "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You," "Fields of
Gold," and "Desert Rose."

To accompany Sting's highly-anticipated world tour, Deutsche Grammophon
will release a companion CD, Symphonicities, this summer. The new studio
album serves as the ultimate commemoration of the live concert experience,
with the first single, "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" to be released
digitally on Monday, May 24th. Additional highlights include fan-favorites
culled from The Police songbook such as "Roxanne" and "Next To You," as well
as songs from Sting's enduring solo career including "Englishman in New
York," "I Burn for You," "Why Should I Cry for You" and "She's Too Good For
Me," among many others. Symphonicities is produced by Rob Mathes and Sting,
and mixed by Elliot Scheiner (Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac) and Claudius
Mittendorfer (Interpol, Franz Ferdinand).

Sting's interest in collaborating with an orchestra began in 2008
following an invitation to perform with the legendary Chicago Symphony
Orchestra. After reworking selections from his expansive catalog, Sting
joined the orchestra in a performance that left an indelible mark on him.
Eager to explore the possibilities of further symphonic collaboration, Sting
was excited when the Philadelphia Orchestra asked him to join them in
commemoration of the 153rd anniversary of the Academy of Music.

"Performing with both the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Philadelphia
Orchestra was truly a highlight of my career. I'm delighted by this new
opportunity to tour with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, having a
whole new palate of musical colors to work with and reinventing the songs
that have been the staples of my live performances for over thirty years,"
commented Sting.

The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra has previously performed with
internationally-renowned artists ranging from opera luminaries Andrea
Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Renee Fleming, Kiri Te Kanawa and the late Luciano
Pavarotti to popular cultural icons including Burt Bacharach, George Benson,
Michel Legrand, Diana Krall, Tina Turner and Randy Newman. The 45-piece
orchestra will be featured on all North American concert dates of the tour.

Sting will also be joined by a quartet comprised of Dominic Miller
(Sting's longtime guitarist), David Cossin (a multi-percussion specialist in
new and experimental music and featured member of the Bang on a Can
All-Stars), Jo Lawry (vocalist) and Ira Coleman (bassist).

Sting's first venture into the classical realm began with the success of
his #1 album "Songs from the Labyrinth," a lute-based interpretation of the
music of 16th century composer John Dowland, released in 2006 on Deutsche
Grammophon. After completing the enormously successful Police reunion world
tour, Sting returned to pursue his passion for uniting musical genres with
his most recent release "If On A Winter's Night…" which debuted at #1 on
Billboard's classical chart.

The tour is promoted by Live Nation and produced by RZO Entertainment,
Inc. in association with Universal Music Classical Management & Productions
and presented by Xerox.

"We are thrilled to be a part of bringing this exciting and unique tour
with Sting to the world," said Arthur Fogel (CEO/Chairman Live Nation Global
Touring). "The arrangements, combined with Sting's brilliant songwriting and
musicianship, will no doubt result in a magical evening of music."

Our global sponsorship of Sting's 2010 world tour offers an opportunity
for Xerox to showcase not only Sting's legendary talents but also the real
business of entertainment," said Christa Carone, vice president, Marketing

customers today. Our technology and services will support the needs of the
tour so that they can focus on what they do best: giving Sting's fans around
the world a magical evening of music."
