BILLBOARD CANADA UPDATE (3/18):

Sting has added a third date at Toronto's Massey Hall, and will now play the venue on Sept. 21, 22 and 24. The general on-sale for the new Sep. 24 date will begin Friday, March 22 at 10am local time on sting.com.


Sting, who was a member of a pretty famous trio back in the day with The Police, is returning to a similarly stripped down configuration for his Sting 3.0 tour.

The vocalist/bassist will be joined by longtime touring mate, guitarist Dominic Miller, and drummer Chris Maas (Mumford & Sons), on the North American theater tour presented by Cherrytree Music Company and Live Nation.

The tour will start Sept. 17 at the Fillmore in Detroit and play 12 markets before wrapping in Los Angeles on Nov. 13. The tour includes multiple dates in each city, including three nights at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater in Brooklyn, NY, and two nights at Toronto’s Massey Hall. The three-piece will perform songs from the 17-time Grammy winner’s solo career, as well as his time leading the Police.

It’s a busy touring time for Sting, who will play San Diego’s Petco Park with Billy Joel on April 13, as well as continue on a European arena tour for much of the summer before the kick-off of this fall’s theater tour.

Tickets go on sale Friday (March 15) at sting.com to the general public, while tickets are already available to members of Sting’s Fan Club on the site.

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
