The Dire Straits Experience Tickets & Tour Dates 2025

Over two decades since Dire Straits disbanded, leaving a catalogue of amazing compositions and performances and front man Mark Knopfler enjoying a successful solo career, former members of the band (Alan Clark, Chris White and Phil Palmer, with songwriter Terence Reis fronting in Knopfler's absence) formed The Straits for a charity show at The Royal Albert Hall in 2011. Three and a half years later, the band had played more than 150 shows in 25 countries around the world, yet soon parted ways.

However, an invitation to play a series of shows in New Zealand and Australia has seen Chris White and Terence Reis collaborating again for the Dire Straits Experience. Joining them is a stellar band of some of the finest professional musicians the UK has to offer. Between them they have worked with an enviable list of rock royalty that includes, amongst others, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Sam Brown, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Nik Kershaw, George Michael, Jamiroquai, The Killers, The Waterboys, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Midge Ure, Albert Lee and Tom Jones.

Now known as the Dire Straits experience, the band are off on tour again across the UK throughout May and June of 2018. Catch them live by checking out the tour dates and concert ticket information below on Stereoboard.
