Blondie, Harry Styles, Queens of the Stone Age, Coldplay... there's been a raft of big acts performing in Cardiff this summer and July hasn't really kicked off yet. The latest to add his name to the list is Sting, who took to the stage at Cardiff Castle on Sunday, July 2.
One of the most famous and enduring names in music, the legendary performer and frontman of '70s and '80s rockers The Police is currently travelling the world with his My Songs tour, which included a residency in Las Vegas. And what's good enough for the bright lights of Vegas is definitely good enough for Wales.
My Songs is essentially a showcase of Sting's - and The Police's - greatest hits and from the moment the Cardiff show opened with the ever catchy Message In A Bottle, they just kept coming. In fact, the first four songs alone were some of his most brilliant tracks - the opener was followed by Englishman In New York, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic and If You Love Somebody Set Them Free.
