Overview
The Dire Straits Experience returns to France in December 2026 for their "The Long Highway Tour"! Having been the exceptional guest of their tour in 2025, the group Electric Pyramid will once again be present in 2026.
Thirty years after Dire Straits disbanded, their timeless songs have never stopped captivating audiences across generations. Today, The Dire Straits Experience brings this iconic music back to life with undiminished intensity.
Led by Chris White, an original member of Dire Straits, and joined by six internationally renowned musicians, The Dire Straits Experience presents an exceptional live concert, performing the greatest songs from this repertoire, such as Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing, Private Investigations and many more.
Recognised worldwide as the most faithful tribute to Dire Straits, The Dire Straits Experience recreates the spirit and power of this legendary band with striking authenticity.
Terence Reis is, according to Chris White, the only artist capable of matching Mark Knopfler's mastery of vocals and guitar. The music is still alive - Their aim: to pass on the legacy of Dire Straits!
