Sting, Shaggy Announce New Curated Music Festival In Philly

PHILADELPHIA — A new music festival is coming to Philadelphia in September and the lineup is curated by musical legends Sting and Shaggy.

The One Fine Day Festival will take place on two stages at The Mann in Fairmount Park on Saturday, Sept. 9.

Headlining the main stage at TD Pavilion at The Mann, Sting and Shaggy will perform their biggest hits together, trading off and collaborating on "Every Breath You Take," "Englishman In New York," "Message In A Bottle," "It Wasn’t Me," "Boombastic" and "Angel" and more.

The One Fine Day performance in Philadelphia is the only time in the USA where Sting and Shaggy will perform together in 2023.

Headlining the Skyline Stage at the Mann for One Fine Day will be two-time Grammy Award-winning Thundercat.

Other acts are Koffee, Tank and the Bangas, Philly’s own G. Love & Special Sauce, Kes, Flor de Toloache, and French/ Italian sensation, Giordana Angi.

"I love how Shaggy and I effortlessly push each other to the creative edges," Sting said. "After having made the 44/876 album together and recording an album of Frank Sinatra covers in a reggae style, a day of hits and musical adventures in one of our favorite cities seemed like the next illogical step!"

"Sting is a catalyst for musical curiosity," Shaggy said. "When we collaborate, we combine our musical tastes, individual cultures and a sense of wonder. We wanted to invite some of our favorite musicians to gather in real time and share that very vibe at 'One Fine Day.'"

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday on Ticketmaster.

Artist presale begins at 10 a.m. Tuesday and will be available through 10 p.m. Thursday.

An exclusive VIP experience which includes access to a private lounge with samplings of Sting’s wine, Toscana IGT from Il Palagio paired with Philadelphia’s own Di Bruno Brothers gourmet cheeses is also available.
