(COLLINGSWOOD, NJ) -- The Scottish Rite Auditorium presents The Police Experience on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 8:00pm. The band, known as the most authentic tribute to The Police, has been electrifying audiences both nationally and internationally with their high octane performances reminiscent of the original band's 1980s era. They will be celebrating the 45th anniversary of Zenyatta Mondatta and playing the greatest hits by The Police.
Lauded by Stewart Copeland, the drummer for The Police, for their meticulous attention to detail and impeccable reproduction of every nuance and rhythm, the tribute band has carved out a distinct niche in the realm of musical homage. A milestone moment arrived in 2003 when Ian Copeland, founder of Frontier Booking International, introduced them to an audience including Stewart and Miles Copeland, culminating in an exhilarating on-stage collaboration and high praise from the industry insiders: “…the best copy band I have seen to date…close your eyes and it's my boys…” reflected Miles Copeland.
Over nearly two decades, The Police Experience has become a global sensation, weaving the nostalgic threads of The Police's music through the fabric of generations of fans. Garnering admiration from artists like Taylor Hawkins of The Foo Fighters, and creating landmark moments like the “The Police Experience- Symphonic” with the Columbus Symphony in 2016, the band navigates through evocative renditions of classic hits such as “Roxanne,” “Every Breath You Take,” and “Don't Stand So Close to Me.”
Tickets range from $39.50 to $59.50 and are available for purchase online. The Scottish Rite Auditorium is located at 215 White Horse Pike in Collingswood, New JErsey.
From Montreal to Trinidad and San Diego to Nova Scotia, they continue to enchant audiences with an unmatched, immersive musical journey back to the zenith of The Police's prime, ensuring the timeless music of the iconic band lives on in every enthralling performance.
The Scottish Rite is one of the largest auditoriums in South Jersey. Voted one of the “150 Best Buildings and Places” by the American Institute of Architects in the 2011 AIA New Jersey Guidebook, the property rests on eight acres of land and comprises two separate buildings. The largest building is a five-story structure that houses the Collingswood Grand Ballroom and the 1,050 seat Scottish Rite Auditorium. The Scottish Rite Auditorium presents over twenty concerts per year by notable performers and bands like Gordon Lightfoot, and Kansas. The late David Crosby called the stage “the coolest place I ever played!”
