Stewart Copeland's 2026 Spoken Word Tour: 'Have I Said Too Much' - The Police, Hollywood, and Other Adventures
Stewart Copeland, the renowned drummer of The Police, has revealed plans for a summer 2026 spoken word tour that will visit 34 cities across the United States. The tour, titled "Have I Said Too Much – The Police, Hollywood, and Other Adventures," is set to kick off on June 3rd in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and will include stops in major cities such as Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, and Nashville. Fans can secure early access to tickets through an artist pre-sale starting on February 12th, with the general on-sale scheduled for February 13th.
The tour promises a 90-minute evening of conversation with Copeland, featuring photos, videos, and a Q&A session where he will delve into his experiences with The Police and other aspects of his multifaceted career as a performer, musician, entertainer, and writer. Copeland has previously chronicled his time with The Police in his memoir "Strange Things Happen" and the 2021 songbook "Drumming in the Police & Beyond." His most recent book, "Police Diaries," offers what he describes as the truest account of the band's early days.
The announcement of the tour comes amidst a legal battle over royalties between Copeland, The Police guitarist Andy Summers, and Sting.
