Dire Streets – The UK’s Leading Dire Straits Tribute 

Step back into the golden age of classic rock as Dire Streets bring the music of one of the world’s greatest guitar bands to life with jaw-dropping authenticity.

This two-hour theatre show captures the magic of Dire Straits with faithful renditions of iconic studio tracks and exhilarating extended live versions inspired by legendary concerts. From the unmistakable guitar tones of Sultans of Swing to the soaring soundscapes of Telegraph Road, every note is performed with the precision and passion fans know and love.

For over a decade, Dire Streets have wowed audiences nationwide, earning their reputation as the UK’s stand-out Dire Straits tribute. Fronted by musicians dedicated to recreating Mark Knopfler’s unique style and vocals, this six-piece band delivers a performance as close to the original as you can experience live today.

Expect stunning musicianship, incredible attention to detail, and an unforgettable night celebrating one of Britain’s most original and influential bands.

Running time 150 minutes
