Reggatta de Blanc

For over 35 years, the most authentic The Police and Sting tribute band in the world!

When Reggatta de Blanc formed as a THE POLICE tribute band in 1988, no one guessed that there was someone in this world whose voice not only resembles that of Police frontman Sting but is almost identical. "A pure but beautiful coincidence," thought Reggatta singer Michael Griese during his first rehearsal with his guys in April '88. For Griese, this remains a special, valuable gift to this day.

Meanwhile, several years have passed, and more than 1,500 concerts have been played in various clubs and open air venues in the republic and abroad, showcasing everything Sting has penned over the last 40 years. One must not forget that the former teacher from northern England continued as a solo artist after his time with The Police starting in 1985 and has released countless hits. There are only a few artists in this world with such a comparable success story, gifting the world so many hits.

The success story of The Police began in 1978 with the classic "Roxanne," followed by, to name just a few, "So lonely," "Message in a bottle," "Don’t stand so close to me," and "Every little thing she does is magic," culminating in the last album "Synchronicity" with Sting's most successful work "Every breath you take."

Reggatta de Blanc got everything right when they founded their The Police tribute band in the spring of 1988 at a very young age. And emphasis should be placed on TRIBUTE BAND here, as for 17 years, the sound, performance, and stage show of the formerly most successful rock trio of the 80s were honed and nearly perfected, until they bravely ventured into the great hits from Sting's solo period (which is still ongoing): "Set them free," "Englishman in New York," "Fragile," "Fields of Gold," "Desert Rose," "Shape of my heart," "Bring on the night," "Can’t stop thinking about you," and "Don’t make me wait," are just a few that the multiple Grammy and Brit Award winner composed after his time with Police and released as part of 12 studio and 4 live albums.

The current lineup of Reggatta promises high-quality talent on the instruments: Tom Quast (guitar), Jonas Wilms/Christopher Hafer (drums), Markus Wentz (keyboards), Dimitri Telmanov (trumpet), Wim Wollner (saxophone), as well as Maja Griese/Melina Kohler/Alwine Adden (backing vocals). This not only brings versatility musically but also in terms of lineup: whether it’s the original trio bringing the early Police back to the stage or various Sting solo configurations with background singers and/or a brass section – Reggatta de Blanc successfully presents all live configurations from the last 40 years of The Police and Sting in an original and detailed manner.

In December 2023, Reggatta de Blanc concluded their incredible 35-year anniversary tour! More than 1,500 special concerts have been brought to the stage. The inexhaustible live repertoire of The Police and Sting guarantees that Reggatta's shows have never repeated themselves since the beginning. Each concert is different. The various live versions interpreted stem from the legendary The Police - Rockpalast concert from 1981, the Synchronicity tour in 1983, Sting's famous MTV Unplugged concert (1992), the Oslo concert from 1993, or his legendary live concert in Tuscany in the garden of his winery on September 11, 2001.

Doors open at 8:00 p.m. Show starts at 9:00 p.m.
Tickets are available for €29.60 at the tourist information centers in Konz and Saarburg!
