Two of music’s most iconic artists – Sting and Peter Gabriel – will unite this summer for a special concert tour. Rock Paper Scissors will visit select North American cities this June and July. Peter Gabriel and Sting will perform both separately and together, playing their own songs as well as melding their bands to explore each other’s most celebrated hits. Sting last went on tour in the U.S. in a co-billing with Paul Simon and Gabriel last went in 2012 for the 25th anniversary of the So album. The tour was called “Back to Front”, and included the members of the original “So” tour including Tony Levin, David Rhodes, and others. Each performance included the entire So album.
“I’m very happy that we’re taking the chance to experiment this way. I think people will be intrigued, I certainly am.” Sting
“What intrigues me is that you get a good bunch of musicians together and interesting things will happen.” Peter Gabriel
