The setlist included a mix of Police classics and solo hits, with a special emphasis on the raw energy of “Driven to Tears” and the soulful depth of “Desert Rose.” Fans were also treated to a new single, “I Wrote Your Name,” released earlier this month.
“Playing every night, it’s still very experimental,” Sting explained. “It’s exciting.”
