As reported yesterday, Elvis Costello will accompany the Police on the third and final leg of their worldwide reunion tour beginning this May. Today the band revealed where and when folks will have their final opportunity to catch Sting and company before they put the band back into retirement.

But this round will be different. It’s the end. The End. When The Police - Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland - play their still-unannounced finale in New York in August, that will be it, for all time.

Tour dates after the jump. And for all of those hoping the Police would make an appearance at Lollapalooza, well…it’s looks like it won’t be happening.
