Ohana Festival has unveiled its latest artist inclusion for the impending multi-day music event, which will take place from Sept. 27 to 29. Sting and his power rock trio, aptly dubbed Sting 3.0, will serve as a late addition headliner, slated to perform during the festival weekend on Saturday, September 28, replacing Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s slot on the bill, after the ensemble canceled their summer tour and subsequent appearances due to illness.

Gordon Sumner, known professionally by his Police-era stage name, Sting, will handle vocal and bass duties during the early fall event, with accompaniment from Dominic Miller on guitar and drummer Chris Maas (Mumford & Sons, Maggie Rogers). The group’s Ohana appearance promises the delivery of songs from String’s celebrated catalog of solo and band pulls, which will reference his five-decade-plus stint as a performer. 

The initial performance schedule previously unveiled artist inclusions, such as Friday, Sept. 27, featuring Pearl Jam, Garbage, Maren Morris, Crowded House, Jaime Wyatt, and others; Saturday’s lineup, with Turnpike Troubadours, Black Pumas, Jenny Lewis, Cat Powers Sings Dylan ‘66; and lastly, Sunday, Sept. 29, which will see the return of bill toppers Pearl Jam, followed by Alanis Morissette, IDLES, Kim Gordon, and more. 

The annual gathering began in 2016 and aims to extend its offerings with more outside music. One such addition is The Cove, a unique area within the festival representing a cross-section of art and environmentalism with curated programming on the Storytelling Stage. The area taps into the festival’s intent to raise awareness about ocean and environmental issues through discussions, exhibits, and panels from world-renowned conservationists, environmentalists, researchers, and surfers. Also included is an art gallery with work curated by Charles R. Alder. 

Ohana Festival will arrive after Pearl Jam’s latest studio delivery, Dark Matter. Read more.
