Overview
- Sting called off his July 6 show at Parco Ragazzi del ’99 after the mayor advised it would be too dangerous with forecasts of thunderstorms, lightning and extremely high winds.
- In a social media statement the singer emphasized that audience, band and crew safety is paramount and pledged to return as soon as conditions permit.
- The cancellation follows earlier disruptions on the Sting 3.0 tour, including a Liverpool delay caused by a supporting act drummer’s on-stage cardiac arrest and January postponements in the U.S. due to Sting’s throat infection.
- Meteorological forecasts predict heavy thunderstorms in the Bassano del Grappa area through early Tuesday before redeveloping later in the day.
- Sting’s 3.0 tour is set to resume with upcoming dates in Udine, Germany, the Czech Republic, Finland and Sweden, with rescheduling details to be confirmed.
