The Polis – A Tribute to The Police

The Police ruled the airwaves from 1978 to 1984 with a staggering 15, top 40 singles and massive worldwide record sales with just 5 albums. Their distinctive bottle blonde look and unique new wave sound, an unlikely fusion of punk rock, reggae, pop and jazz even, caught a post disco UK audience totally by surprise and propelled the band on a meteoric rise to become the world's biggest touring band of the early 80's before a sudden split at the top of their game in 1986.The Fans waited and finally in 2007, their patience was rewarded when The Police reformed for a massive 150 date World Tour but a reunion and new material?........ Sadly No.Enter The Polis........Since recently returning to a "true to the original" 3-piece, The Polis are truly the UK's most authentic Police tribute with venues and Fans alike starting to pay close attention to "Every Move They Make".Performing a "blisteringly authentic" live set of classic Police singles, B-sides and iconic live arrangements, The Polis are here to show why they are one of the UK's "must see" tribute acts in 2026.This is definitely not a carefully choreographed, over-polished set tailored for a "bums on seats" crowd, this is 3 life-long Police fans, artfully celebrating their love of The Police, who'll drag you back to the 70/80s, out of your seats and deliver a sucker punch of raw energy & nostalgia straight to the gut.Roxanne, So Lonely, Message In a Bottle, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic...
