What's On: Here is the incredible music legend who will play The Piece Hall next summer
An icon of music is the latest name to be announced for next summer’s gigs at The Piece Hall in Halifax.
Organisers have announced today (Monday) that none other than Sting will play at the historic venue on Tuesday, July 4.
He will be bringing his My Songs world tour to The Piece Hall, featuring his most beloved songs written throughout the 17-time Grammy Award winner’s illustrious career – both with The Police and as a solo artist.
Those hits include ‘Fields of Gold’, ‘Shape of my Heart’, ‘Roxanne’ ‘Demolition Man’, ‘Englishman In New York’, ‘Every Breath You Take’, ‘Message In A Bottle’ and many more.
Excitement for next summer’s concerts is growing, with The War On Drugs and The Lumineers the first headliners for the shows to be announced last week.
Nicky Chance-Thompson, CEO of The Piece Hall Trust, said: “I’m so excited to be able to announce Sting as one of our headliners for Live at The Piece Hall 2023.
"Securing an artist of his calibre builds perfectly on line-up of global superstars we played host to last year.
“Fans will absolutely love this concert which spans his full stellar repertoire with hit after hit, and I certainly can’t wait to welcome him to our iconic building.”
Tickets for Sting’s concert go on sale at 9am on Friday (November 18) via ticketmaster.co.uk.

Meantime, The Piece Hall has a spectacular Christmas season planned, including shows from Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp, Craig Charles, Radio 2 presenter DJ Spooney ,and the welcome return of an ice-rink.
A carousel and Christmas tree have already arrived in the courtyard, and the first of two winter makers markets took place at the weekend. The next market is this coming weekend, from Friday until Sunday.
