After kicking off a hot-selling reunion tour Monday (5/28), The Police have revealed a pair of new fall dates, creeping closer to confirming an expected second US leg for the outing.
The band played to more than 20,000 fans in Vancouver, British Columbia, Monday night, and is set to play a second show at that city's GM Place tonight(5/30). Rock trio Fiction Plane - fronted by Joe Sumner, son of Police singer/bassist Sting - held down the opening slot and will continue to do so throughout the tour
Meanwhile, organizers have announced that additional support artists - including
The Fratellis,
Foo Fighters,
Maroon 5 and
Maximo Park - will play on some of the trek's upcoming stadium shows. The specific lineups for each stadium date haven't been announced.
Newly added to the massive trek - the first US leg of which stretches from May to August and is followed by a European leg during September and October - are an Oct. 31 New York show and a Nov. 11 appearance in Boston.
The upcoming tour is The Police's first in more than 20 years. Animosity among the members - Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland - caused them to go their separate ways following a 1984 tour to support their last studio album, "Synchronicity." The five-time Grammy-winning band did manage a one-night reunion when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
