    Sting was just a single comment made just like the other 50 mentions, nothing more than that. Its not like it was a leaked possibility. Just another act who will not be there. not a chance.

    Sting is a treasure and a yoga master. He can handle a tough schedule. According to setlist FM he did 114 shows in 2024. Given his age,that is insane. That said, I am not sure his format translates well to a festival. It could be worse though, he is playing great police songs.

    Since the Ultimate Warrior is obviously unavailable, I'd be good with Sting

    Take this for what it’s worth, as someone who neither likes nor dislikes Sting or the Police.  For NYCH fans, getting Sting instead is a little like getting Peter Gabriel instead of the Stones.

    So, sure.  Book him.  He’s a legit headliner.  But I don’t have to be excited about it.

    The Police do have some bangers.

    Still sounding great.  From a 05/31/2024 show...

    He might also be up for doing a tantric yoga sex class on the beach at noon to start the day.

    A little more than that.  He's replacing Neil at another festival on 9/26, why not also replace him on 9/28?

    Jumping in on the Sting talk (OWWWWWWOO!), I'd be down. 

    Don't know if it's been brought up, but Sting plays Louisville on that Thursday, and then St. Louis on Friday. But another Ohana performer plays B&B on Friday:

    Black Pumas. And they're the penultimate act in Dana Point on Saturday. 

    Don't even know if they've met, but what if Ed got a hold Sting & introduced them, and they're both catching a private plane from St. Louis (and BP takes a short road trip) to SNA on Saturday morning??🤔
    B&B is the week before Ohana, not the same weekend. The week of Ohana Sting plays Toronto Tuesday and Wednesday, St. Louis Friday and then Philly on Monday, so it’s highly unlikely that he would go all the way out to the west coast for Saturday. But i also thought it unlikely that he’d add B&B since he’s in Detroit the night before and Toronto the night after, giving himself 8 shows in 9 days.

    Someone said Willie Nelson. Add some friends and rock it out. He's more Neil Youngy. Just Breathe duet. I'd be 'driven to tears'

    fair enough. Who is replacing Neil at his other cancellations? Maybe they will be at ohana too?

    He only had a few festival appearances, The Offspring replaced him at Ottawa Blues Fest last weekend and then Sting at Bourbon & Beyond (which is 9/19, the weekend before Ohana, not 9/26). No word on if he’ll be at Farm Aid yet, that announcement might be coming today.

    Whoops! Yeah, you've got a point. I mixed up the dates.

    I say move Garbage and Alanis Morrisette to Saturday as co-headliners and PJ plays a full length set Friday and Sunday instead of shorter festival sets.
