The Police Confirm New York Finale Details

By WENN, June 7 2008

LATEST: THE POLICE will bid farewell to fans at a finale staged at New York's Madison Square Garden on 7 August (08).

The reunited trio revealed plans to wrap up a current tour in the Big Apple at a press conference in Times Square last month (May08), but kept the date and venue to themselves.

Proceeds from the finale will benefit New York public television stations Thirteen/WNET and WLIW21, which will air a Police retrospective featuring new interviews with the band and vintage concert clips throughout the day of the show.

The B-52s will provide support for The Police as the rockers end their reunion.

When the details for the final show were announced at the press conference last month, The Police confirmed they would be making a $1 million (GBP500,000) contribution to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's MillionTreesNYC initiative to plant trees all over the city.
