Sting and The Wanted have both been added to the already packed Live at the Marquee series of gig in Cork City. The Wanted will play the tent on Sunday 16th June, while Sting will bring his Back To Bass tour to town just a couple of weeks later on Monday 1st July.
Sting began his Back To Bass tour in 2011 and it has been attracted rave reviews across the globe, particularly in South Africa, Asia as well as the UK and Europe. You can expect to see all of the former Police man's biggest hits, but performed by a minimalistic 5-piece band.
The Wanted, meanwhile, have been enjoying unprecedented success since their single 'Glad You Came' exploded across the Atlantic, propelling the lads to #3 in the Billboard charts. Third Strike, their (you guessed it) third album will drop this March.
Sting and The Wanted will join the previously announced Elvis Costello, ZZ Top, Elton John, The Coronas and Christy Moore, who will all also play across the month-long series of shows.
Tickets for both gigs will go on sale at 9am on Thursday 31st January.
