It looks like The Police reunion tour is a big hit with fans: All eight markets that have gone on sale so far have sold out, according to organizers.

The August 1 and 3 gigs at New York City's Madison Square Garden sold out this morning (2/20) in 14 minutes. Back-to-back shows July 28-29 at Boston's Fenway Park also sold out when they went on sale today. Last weekend saw immediate sellouts in Toronto, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and Vancouver, British Columbia, prompting organizers to add second shows in those cities, according to a press release issued by promoter Live Nation.

Another New York-area gig has also been added--August 5 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ--as have June shows in Los Angeles and Oakland, CA. An updated North American itinerary is listed below.

In the coming weeks, more shows are expected to be added in Chicago; Columbus, OH; Detroit; Edmonton, Alberta; Hartford, CT; Houston; Miami; Philadelphia; Tampa, FL; the Minneapolis/St. Paul region; and the Washington/Baltimore area.

Rock trio Fiction Plane, which is scheduled to release its sophomore album in May, will open the tour's North American leg. The group is fronted by Joe Sumner, son of Police singer/bassist Sting.

Following their initial trek, The Police will jet to Europe and then return to North America for another round of dates before heading off to Mexico, South America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

More information about the outing, tickets and fan-club membership can be found at The Police tour website.

Now that The Police have rehearsed, made their reunion official at the Grammys and announced the tour, all the rockers have to do is get along. Apparently, they are already showing traces of the tension that made The Police one of the world's biggest rock bands and eventually led to their demise.
