Thousands of fans rocked to Sting’s inimitable sounds on Tuesday evening in what can only be described as a phenomenal concert. Rock band, Fiction Plane, headlined by Sting’s son Joe Sumner, were the supporting act, and they also gave a great performance.
People began flocking to Luxol Grounds from around 1800 CET to be sure to savour every moment of the concert, despite the fact that the live music was not scheduled to begin before 1930 CET. Fiction Plane began playing and getting the crowd ready for the main act with their popular rock music. By this time people were entering the grounds in a steady flow and soon the place was packed.
Sting did not disappoint when he appeared on stage as the crowd began cheering and clapping, and as soon as the familiar instrumental notes of Message in a Bottle began, the fans went wild. People sang along to the songs, especially the more popular ones such as Roxanne, Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic and Fields of Gold.
The concert ended with a beautiful rendition of Fragile which sent the fans into overdrive; however, their request for more was not granted as Sting exited the stage ready to be whisked off to Tel Aviv where he will be performing next as part of his Broken Music Tour 2006.
The artist got great rounds of applause when he uttered the phrases il-lejl it-tajjeb and Grazzi Malta, and his pledge to return to the island.
This was the first concert this summer of great artists, with people eagerly anticipating more intense music with the likes of Bob Geldof and Roger Waters in the coming weeks.
