As the Police announced their much-rumored reunion tour today in Los Angeles, on the morning after they opened the Grammy Awards, Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had a question.

"So the tour starts in late May--do we have time for the mullets to return?" Hawkins asked.

Such was the jovial nature of the band's press conference this morning at the Whiskey A Go Go in West Hollywood, where the legendary trio announced their first tour since breaking up in 1984.

The tour will kick off May 28 in Vancouver and will include stops at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee June 16, as well as a performance at Fenway Park in Boston. Many details have yet to be announced, but stops in 13 cities are confirmed. Additionally, the band will announce shows in the following areas: Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; Detroit; Edmonton, Alberta; Hartford, Connecticut; Houston; Los Angeles; Miami; Philadelphia; Tampa; the San Francisco Bay Area; the Minneapolis/St. Paul region; and the Washington/Baltimore area. Details about those shows will be announced in the next few weeks.

Ticket prices will average a little under $100, and will be tiered at $225, $90, and $50. Tickets go on sale beginning Saturday in select markets, and members of tour sponsor Best Buy's rewards program will have presale access to tickets.

"It is a special kind of tour that can generate the kind of anticipation and excitement that I've seen build over the past few weeks," said Arthur Fogel, en executive with tour promoter Live Nation.

A portion of the proceeds from the tour will be donated to WaterAid, a charity dedicated to reducing poverty by improving access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education, according to a press release.

After a lengthy North American trek, the Police will head to Europe, back to North America, and then to Mexico, South America, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

Today's event, which featured a short rehearsal performance by the band, confirmed what has been the worst-kept secret in music in recent months: that Sting, Stuart Copeland, and Andy Summers have set aside their creative differences and respective egos.

"There's a part of my life that I've sort of run away from for the past 25 years, and I'm ready to experience that again," Sting said. "There's no reason why we shouldn't be 25 years better than we were--and we were good then. We're wiser and we're a bit more mellow."

"We still argue," he continued. "But the nature of the arguments was always about music, and now we have a better way to navigate our way through those things."

The trio played a short set of material this morning, including "Message in a Bottle," a medley of "Voices Inside My Head" and "When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around," and "Can't Stand Losing You," which featured band members yelling out upcoming chord changes to one another. They also played their breakthrough hit, "Roxanne," which they performed to open the Grammys last night.

Sting said the tour would be a stripped-down affair, with no backing vocalists or horn sections. "It's going to be three guys on stage--that's all," he said. The setlist will consist entirely of material from the Police--none from Sting's solo career, he later added.

"It's just about playing music this time--nothing else," Copeland said.
