Sting Live at Glastonbury Festival 1997 - If I Ever Lose My Faith In You

Venue: Ruissalo Location: Turku, Southwest Finland, Finland Date: June 28, 1997

In June 1997, Sting was riding high on the wave of his album *Mercury Falling*, which had been released just a few months earlier in March. This live performance at the Glastonbury Festival showcased his ability to blend rock and pop with a world music flavor that he had cultivated throughout his career. An interesting tidbit about this period is that Sting was not just a solo act but had also gained fame as the frontman of The Police, whose legacy continued to influence his music. Performing at such an iconic venue like Glastonbury allowed him to connect with a diverse audience, drawing in both old fans and new listeners while delivering hits like "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" and "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free." His embrace of this festival's unique atmosphere perfectly captured the essence of his artistic evolution.
