In 1992, Dire Straits reunited for one final, unforgettable chapter - a tour that gave birth to the iconic live album On The Night. Capturing the band at their most polished and passionate, this record would become a lasting tribute to their remarkable legacy, filled with sweeping guitar work, intricate arrangements, and the unmistakable touch of Mark Knopfler.

Now, we invite you to relive the magic.

"On the Night - The Music from Dire Straits" is more than a tribute —it's a powerful homage performed by eight accomplished musicians, with years of live experience and a shared love for the music of Dire Straits. We have come together with one purpose: to recreate this extraordinary live performance and honour the legacy of a band that redefined rock with elegance, depth, and soul. This electrifying live experience brings the On The Night album to life in full glory, note for note, from the haunting strains of "Your Latest Trick" to the thunderous climax of "Brothers In Arms."

We've also selected gems from the Alchemy live album — moments that capture the raw, early fire of the band's rise-and a special performance of a Mark Knopfler solo piece, bridging the past and present of this extraordinary artist's journey.

Join us for a night of music, memory, and musical mastery. This is not just a concert - it's a celebration of one of the greatest bands to ever grace the stage.

Feel the sound. Relive the legacy. Be there - On the Night.
