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-man line-up, 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, Every Breath You Take, they're all there plus much, much more........
You'll never see the The Police again so come see the next best thing........
The Polis: Putting on the Red Light since 2005.

testimonials
“Tribute and cover bands can be subject to ridicule and sneering. But The Polis tonight were magnificent. A four piece version with a singer relieved of bass duties.
Give me keyboards, a bass or guitar I can play them. But the musicians on show tonight were on a different level. I didn’t spot a weak link.
It was a reminder just how good The Police were. I saw them in 1979. I judged everything on merit tonight not conjecture. They were brilliant.”
“Made a last minute decision to make my way into Edinburgh yesterday to see the 2nd festival show at Merchants Hall of Scotland’s very own Police tribute The Polis.
I was very glad I made that last minute decision.
This was my third time seeing the band in around 18 months and by a considerable distance this was the best. Why?
This band has been practicing hard recently and the results of yesterday prove it.
Tight and compact The Polis played faultlessly just about every hit the supergroup produced in a stellar but criminally short career. Criminally short is also how i would describe the 90 minute set by The Polis yesterday. I would happily have enjoyed another hour -at least- to savour yet more of the awesome back catalogue available.
Hit after hit sang and played wonderfully and I can’t wait till the next time.
Well done boys, you should all be delighted with that performance, I know the sizeable crowd in attendance certainly were.
Rating - 9/10.”
“What a brilliant night at The Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh last night! Amazing atmosphere! The place was jumping with a great crowd of mad Police fans. Robbie, Alan, Ewan and Stevie, you were on top form and deserve the huge crowd who turned up! So pleased for you guys! Thanks for bringing back Bring On The Night. It was superb. Great guitar and bass on that. Ewan teased us with a bit of Demolition Man and Masoka Tango.... maybe coming soon??? Thanks for a great night! Bring on the next one!”
“OK... said this to each and every one of the lads tonight.
Those who’ve known me the longest... know of my infatuation with Sting, Stewart and Andy.
This was the first “tribute” band to The Police I’ve ever seen.
I was the most sceptical person in the place.
I stood there and was like... go on then... impress me...
F#ck me!!! They impressed me and some.
Absolutely brilliant. Would love to see them do the songs a little more from the “live” versions but that’s the ONLY thing I could think of when it came to what could be better... and hey... going by the girls on the dance floor tonight they’ve already got their Dolette, Michelle and Tessa... lol.
4 lads from the kingdom of Fife... where no bugger can say Roll of Linoleum (except the drummer... lol).
Thank you for an awesome night. Totally blew me away. I’ll see you lads again... soon I hope.”
reviews
The Polis at The A Club at the Merchants Hall, 21 August 2019
“A four piece trio? The mighty Sting was played by two people here – a bass player and a vocalist. This was a cabaret-type venue, with table service going on throughout, rather than a concert. The Polis were a good live band who gave accurate and skilled performances, rousing the crowd to relive their own teenage years with great enthusiasm! Musically they were excellent; Andy Summers’ guitar parts were note for note and the drummer drove the night along with a vigorous Stewart Copeland impression. The singer was also very convincing, effortlessly hitting all the high notes and involving the crowd. By the time they ended with ‘Roxanne’ the audience were frenzied, but this time Dad wasn’t coming to pick them up!”
