From sold-out arena performances across Europe, the celebrated and critically acclaimed Dire Straits Experience is returning to Australia as part of their Shiver in the Dark 2024 World Tour, after a six-year absence. Assembled by Brothers In Arms and On Every Street veteran Chris White and prodigious singer-guitarist Terence Reis, this world-class ensemble reignites the greatest hits from Mark Knopfler’s platinum catalogue with breathtaking skill and showmanship.
Expect to hear timeless classics such as “Money for Nothing,” “Walk of Life,” “So Far Away,” “Brothers in Arms,” “Sultans of Swing,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “Tunnel of Love,” “Telegraph Road,” “Private Investigations,” and much more in a two-hour show with full concert production.
The seven-piece ensemble is comprised of musicians handpicked from the highest echelons of the international touring circuit, with combined experience spanning Paul McCartney, Joe Cocker, Ray Charles, Roachford, Robbie Williams, ABC, Tears For Fears, and Mark Knopfler himself. The music of Dire Straits holds a special place in the hearts of Kiwis and Australians; in the '80s and '90s, the band broke multiple records for concert attendance and records sold.
While Mark Knopfler and the band permanently parted ways in 1995, their music has never waned in popularity and continues to be celebrated worldwide. The Dire Straits Experience honors this musical legacy, and fans eagerly await the band's return, promising an unforgettable show.
