Reunited Police rumoured to play big festivals

After weeks of rumours, it has been confirmed that The Police will reunite and take part in the Grammy awards telecast from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 11th by opening the show.

The Police, led by Sting, were one of the biggest groups of the early 1980s, with success on both sides of the Atlantic.

The latest rumors have the band possibly hitting three of the biggest music festivals -- Coachella in California in April, and Bonnaroo in Tennessee and Glastonbury in England during the month of June. There's been no official word from the group or any of the festivals, though Roger Friedman of Fox News says the Coachella and Glastonbury rumors are untrue, without mentioning Bonnaroo.

The Coachella rumor was sparked by the festival using the code word "Roxanne" for its ticket pre-sale.

Radio station CFMI in Vancouver reported last week that the Police were using Lions Gate Studios in the city for their tour rehearsals, and that the band would also shoot a video while there.
