To celebrate the release of his upcoming compilation album, My Songs, Sting (born Gordon Sumner) has announced an extensive Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace in 2020.
The shows were announced by the Message in a Bottle singer via Twitter on Wednesday morning.
The 67-year-old performing artist will play 16 concerts at the Coloseum spanning May to September, and will pull out some of his greatest hits — from not only his solo career, but The Police as well.
Fifteen of those greatest hits, including Roxanne, Demolition Man and Englishman in New York, will be featured on My Songs — which drops on May 24, through A&M.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Sting revealed that he’s committed to providing a proper “Vegas show” in terms of sound visuals and choreography.
“I am a little frightened and a little excited at the same time,” he admitted.
Throughout his more than 45-year career, Sting revealed he had been offered residencies in Vegas in the past, but just “felt it wasn’t the right time” before.
“I always thought, ‘I’m not quite ready for that, [as] I’m still a touring animal.’ But now, I’m ready,” he added.
“Being in one place is actually a different, spiritual vibe,” continued the singer. “Welcoming people into your house — that’s basically what it’s going to be.
“I’ll be telling the story of my life through songs,” he concluded. “I’ve had a long, interesting life and I can’t wait.”
Sting will tour with Jamaican singer Shaggy throughout the U.K. and Europe before embarking on his trek to Vegas.
