This show deserved a badge of honour." and "Sting shows diversity, depth and ever-lasting rock energy on this tour.

Sting’s twelfth solo studio album, "57th & 9th", his first rock/pop project in over a decade, was released November 11 on "A&M/Interscope Records". The ten-song collection represents a wide range of Sting’s musical and songwriting styles from the raucous, guitar-driven first single, "I Can’t Stop Thinking About You" to unbelievable energy of "Petrol Head" and the anthemic "50,000." The last track, "50.000" was created in the week when Prince passed away, and the track is dedicated to all famous colleagues who passed away in 2016: David Bowie, Lemmy, Glenn Frey and Prince. The album, produced by Martin Kierszenbaum, was recorded in just a few weeks with Sting’s long-time collaborators Dominic Miller (guitar) and Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), as well as drummer Josh Freese, guitarist Lyle Workman and backing vocals by the San Antonio-based "Tex-Mex" band and "The Last Bandoleros".
The British giant with the symphony orchestra visited Serbian capital six years ago. The first Sting`s experiment with genres was his classical album "Songs from the Labyrinth". The album features music by the 16th century composer John Dowland. Some of the songs were performed on lutes. The audience now has the opportunity to enjoy his authentic pop rock sound within the tour that is - as many people think - the crown of Sting`s live performances. Tickets for Sting’s concert in Belgrade will go on general sale on Wednesday, June 21st at the box offices: Kombank Arena, Eventim, Bilet Center Belgrade, Dom Omladine, Usce Shopping center, and online.
