Sting and Peter Gabriel will play concerts in Montreal and Quebec City this summer.

The "Rock, Paper, Scissors" tour, announced Tuesday, will stop at the Bell Centre on July 5, and at the Festival d'été de Quebec on July 7.

The artists will perform each other's songs for a tour that they hope will have a playful vibe. They joke that they'll be making all decisions by playing the game "Rock, Paper, Scissors" --the name of the tour.

Sting says the tour will be similar to one with Paul Simon about a year ago.

"We traded songs, we traded musicians, we sang together. And the take home that people got from that was they loved it when we did things together," Sting told The Associated Press.

The tour begins on June 21 in Columbus, Ohio, and wraps up in Edmonton on July 24.

Tickets for the Montreal concert go on sale on Jan. 25, 2016, while tickets for the Quebec City show will be on sale in March.
