The Police will put out the red light at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater on Aug. 4.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers announced the final leg of their reunion, which was last year’s biggest-growing tour, and, though there has been no final announcement, the Jones Beach show is expected to be the end of the reunion of Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland.

“I think it’s done,” Sting told columnist Roger Friedman recently. “People came to see something from the past and it was great.”

Of course, when this much money is involved, never say never, but for now, Jones Beach is the final stop for The Police. Elvis Costello & The Imposters have signed on to open the shows on the final leg, which starts July 11 in Portland, Ore.

Tickets – ranging from $50 to $225 – for the Jones Beach show go on sale at 10 a.m. on Feb. 25 through Ticketmaster. Pre-sale tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday through Citi’s Private Pass Program at privatepass.citi.com.

Rush will bring its tour for "Snakes and Arrows" to Nikon at Jones Beach Theater on July 14. Tickets are $45-$150 through Ticketmaster and go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. 

R.E.M. is the first act set for this summer’s Nikon at Jones Beach Theater concert season, hitting the amphitheater on June 14, as part of its tour to support the forthcoming “Accelerate” (Warner Bros.) album due on April 1.

A New York show is planned for June 19, though a location hasn’t been set. Modest Mouse and The National are set to open. No ticket sale info yet.

To prepare for the new album and tour, R.E.M. launched the Ninetynights website, which features a new video clip of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers performing something every day. The one below is – I think – their take on Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead.”
