Sting at Wolf Trap
$53 + Fees Lawn
[Tickets](https://www.wolftrap.org/show/26filene/052126/)
This is the first of three shows by Sting at Wolf Trap over Memorial Day weekend. Thursday night, hopefully weather will be nice. Former Police front man and solo singer songwriter, the now 74 year old, Gordon Sumner (aka Sting) still puts on a good show. Please join us on the lawn at Wolf Trap where you can still bring in your own food, drink, and alcohol. It should be a fun time.
Sting release an album called *The Bridge* in 2021. I have not heard it. He also released a *Duets* album that did well in the UK.

Santana + Doobie Brothers: Oneness Tour 2026
[Tickets to summer promotion](livenation.com/promotion/summeroflive)

Santana is calling his tour with the Dobbie Brothers the Oneness 2026 Tour. This is a similar name as he used in 2024 with the Counting Crows. In fact we had this same pairing of these two bands in 2019 (pre covid). The set from Santana in 2024 at JIffy Lube Live was fantastic so lets go out and do it again. We have seen the Doobie Brothers over the past many summers and their shows have been very good as well.
Live Nation's Tickets to summer promotion will sell you $30 lawn seats for this show, or you can also find $40 seats in the rear corners of the pavilion.
