KEY POINTS:
The reunion tour by early 80s rock giants The Police is coming to New Zealand to play two big outdoor shows this summer.
The band featuring Sting, guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland will return to Auckland's Western Springs - the arena they filled at their height of popularity in 1984 before splitting soon after - on Saturday, January 19, having already performed at Wellington's Westpac Stadium on Thursday, January 17.
The tour comes at the end of a global jaunt which started in Vancouver in May and has sold more than 1.77 million tickets in North America and Europe.
The Auckland show comes the day after the Big Day Out at Mt Smart Stadium on Friday, January 18. Tickets for the New Zealand shows go on sale via Ticketek (Wellington) and Ticketmaster (Auckland) on Monday, July 30.
