Backstage at this year's Bourbon and Beyond Festival in Louisville, Sting chats with Kyle Meredith about the thrill of touring with his new “3.0” setup — a three-piece band that echoes his Police days but with a twist. Listen now.

Sting discusses how being in a different three-piece allows him to reinvent his sound while revisiting his iconic hits. “It’s not the Police, but it’s a three-piece that brings a lot of clarity and freedom,” he explains, emphasizing that the stripped-down configuration allows him and his bandmates to explore songs in ways that big ensembles wouldn’t.

Sting also teased his now-confirmed collaboration with Dr. Dre and Snopp Dogg, saying, “If Dre says I’m on his album, that must be true.” Though he played coy about details, the excitement was unmistakable. As he continues his 3.0 tour (get tickets here), Sting proves that his drive to experiment and evolve is as fierce as ever, showing fans a fresh take on the music that made him a legend.
