The Police delighted 55,000 fans at a packed Montjuic stadium last night on their only Spanish date of their 30th anniversary world tour.

The legendary mid-Atlantic band performed most of their most memorable hits during the nearly two-hour set, which opened with 'Message in a Bottle', closed with 'Next to You' and also included classics such as: 'Voices inside my head', 'De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da', 'Can't Stand Losing You', 'Synchronicity II', 'Walking on the Moon', 'Don't Stand so Close to Me', 'Driven to Tears', 'Hole in my Life', 'Truth Hits Everybody', 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic', 'Wrapped Around Your Finger', 'Roxanne', 'King of Pain', 'So Lonely', and 'Every Breath you Take'.

During their turbulent seven years together (1977-1984), the band (Sting on bass and vocals, Stewart Copeland on drums and Andy Summers on guitar) released five chart-topping albums and won six Grammy awards.
