The festival will this year take place from June 30 to July 15 2006?
So I just have to plan some holydays ,simple as that...humm...oh just remember...not so simple ,lol!
If only Sting do it in 30 of June ...I´ve not all the time and money in the world as Johnnyjumstart seam to have ;)
(ok,this is a bit of envy)!

He is doing the Bospop show on July 7th so it looks like a mini euro tour!

Isn´t that so?
Oh,thanks heaven!!!
But....
Will Sting frog sing in Montreux sooner or later then 7 of Jully?
THATás the BIG question...HUGE QUESTION , ;)

Hi Johnnyjumpstart and DesertRedRose,
Do you really think there will be more dates!!???
Have you heard any rumor? I'm thinking about buying a ticket for the Bospop show but I live far away from Holland....

It would be good to have something to look forward to, if he was doing a Euro
thing. Dublin ?

Hey guys!!
It's annunced that Sting is playing at Montreaux Festival!!!!!!!
I checked the programme out and June 30th is still empty so....Maybe this is the BIG ANSWER DesertRedRose!
I can't wait for the date!!!!!!!!!!!

That's last years programme you're looking at.
The Programme for 2006 will be announced in April.

That´s very funny!
But i think ythat what Laboca said was all so sweet !!!!! Thanks pal :)

I'm glad to know it sounded sweet DesertRedRose!!!
You're right phantom, sorry for the mistake...

Cheers ;)

Yeap,Laboca THAT was sweet...caramelos,are you spanish (La boca is very latin)...Montreaux will definitivly be in my list to travel,its beautiful,if the festival is near Lake (Geneve) would be very cool,not sure yet if I will try to follow him till Netherland,Belgium ...hummm ...that´s even more sweet!
Nah,I´ve just remembered now that he is always suing those that follow him...last year one stalker this year his chauffer...what else?

Hey DesertRed, I'm spaniard. "La Boca" is a Dominic Miller's tune and he wants to refer the football team Boca Juniors from Argentina.
I don't want to be demanded by him... (LoL) so I'm still thinking about what festival to go. I'd like to go to Montreux but Belgium is cheaper from Spain...

Interesting,first i feel ashamed that i didn´t know La Boca was a Dom tune,I admire his music,and of course that he is from Argentina(habla español y tiene salero latino en su musica, por supuesto que si!)...but i didn´t knew that about *La Boca*...another thing that you make me aware of is ...well...why is it Belgium cheaper from Spain? Cheaper then Montreux?

It seems you speak a bit of spanish!!!
Yeah, I meant flying from Spain to Brusells is cheaper than going to Montreux. Hotels are more expensive in Montreux than in Brusells as well...but I'd prefer to go to Montreux Festival because I think in Werchter there will be a bigger crowd.

Si,lo creo! ;)
Well I can stay in Montreux I´ve my beautiful niece in there:)
And if I´m lucky i also will go to Belgium...we will see!:)

I expect a euro tour of broken Music.

It looks as though things are shaping up to prove you quite correct, jumpstart. It may not be as formal a tour as the one undertaken last spring in the US, but the time available between the shows that have already been confirmed make it look quite possible for future announcements.
The one thing that really excites me the most about what I have read of these string of concert dates is that Abraham Laboriel Jr is rejoining Sting's band for these shows. So the lineup is still the scaled down quartet including Dominic Miller and Lyle Workman on guitars, but they are being joined by the much more versatile Laboriel on drums. As I've read on another message board, it only seems appropriate that a drummer who can actually play jazz will now be handling the drumming at these jazz festivals that Sting has decided to play.

I trust in Stingus concert information,but I find it strange that ONLY LISBON -Rock In Rio 2006 is *officially*anounced ...
It is all dust covered ,lol...even the Spanish mayor that last year talked about Sting coming to do an Albacete festival is now mute as mule,can´t believe this...humm or perhaps its to soon to speak -tongue-in-sheek...;)

Hey Glarbage! I found out that Josh Freeze won't play with Sting because he is playing at the same Festival with Guns 'n' Roses!!! Interesting, isn't it?

Oh Wow, I completely forgot that Mr Freese was involved with that remodeled version of Guns n Poses. They made an appearance a few years ago to promote their forthcoming cd Chinese Democracy and then the lineup completely fell apart. I guess that Freese is so good natured that he can put up with any b.s. So which festival is Axl and his scabs playing? Surely not Montreux Jazz Festival???
So Freese is an extremely busy guy. I think that choosing the option of GNR over Sting is a good one. He is much more in his element playing straight ahead hard rock.
Welcome back Abraham!

How does Johnny know everything before anybody else?! I still say we should torture him for more information!! :P Have you seen this DRR?

YAY!! :D I can't wait to see how big (hopefully) this tour will be!! ;)

What i don't get though is why sting.com havn't actually announced this tour, not properley anyway!! They never once mentioned (to my knowledge) that Sting was gona mend the Broken tour in Europe!! :) Theyre just casually giving us more and more dates, like its no big deal!! And theyre not giving us much info about them either, or what Sting is actually doing and why!! Whats the big secret?! Huum... maybe only Sting knows that!! lol! ;)

Oh yeah, so does anyone know for definite the musician line up for these gigs?! No Josh or Shane?! Wow Sting's getting through these musicians fast, lol! I wonder if he'll bring in any keyboards? Oh no will that mean Kipper?! :P I think he should bring back some of the guys from 10 Summoners, Vinnie and David (cant spell their surnames, lol), that would be a great band now wouldnt it?! Well doesn't make much difference to me anyway, as long as Sting is there ;), oh and Dominic of course!! :)

I seen Dominic Miller in Crocodile Shoes !

Lady Dolphin: :-D Colaiuta and Sancious

Oh yeah ive seen the crocodile boots!! And I bet you're gona be seeing Sting near a Big River soon too!! ;)

Thats it, thanx sting1993!! :)

Lady Dolphin, the lineup is Dominic and Lyle Workman on guitars, with the 'large punisher' Abraham Laboriel Jr returning to the drum throne.
Not only will this lineup bring the rock of the prior Broken Music, but the versatility of past Sting tours.

Funny you should say that. Jimmy Nail is here in the Sage Gateshead NOW !!

Josh Freese will drum at a few of the initial shows, while Abe will be playing the entirety of the European tour.
