The Police have been named "the dirtiest band in the world" in a survey of the eco-friendly credentials of live acts by NME.
The reformed group's current world tour has been cited as the reason for their large carbon footprint, with around 1.5million fans expected to travel to more than 100 venues.
Radiohead were deemed the most green band in the poll, which also praised Babyshambles for its sensitivity to the environment.
John Buckley of Carbonfootprint.com said: "At Live Earth in New Jersey where The Police played, the biggest emissions weren't from the concert, it was the fans.
"The Police played lots of big stadiums - they need to be careful over where they play, and make sure it's near public transport."
