One Night of Dire Straits - Tribute Show - '30 years later' Tour

Dire Straits rose from small bar gigs to the world's biggest stages in less than a decade. Their breakthrough came in the late 1970s with "Sultans of Swing", establishing Mark Knopfler as a vocalist, composer, and guitarist. The band reached its peak in the mid-1980s with "Money For Nothing", a collaboration with Sting. Following their final album "On Every Street" (38x platinum worldwide) and a world tour in 1991-1992 featuring 229 concerts, Knopfler declared the band inactive in 1995. Dire Straits sold over 120 million records.

Thirty years later, this final era takes centre stage in the tribute show "One Night of Dire Straits". Guitarist and vocalist Alex Moll, who has studied Knopfler's music and guitar playing since his youth, performs with a nine-piece ensemble of session and touring musicians - all companions for whom Dire Straits are as familiar as they are to him. Moll draws the characteristic tones from his guitar that made Knopfler world-famous, and brings the band's joy of playing to the level of the original.
