Overview
The Dire Straits Experience returns to France in December 2026 for their "The Long Highway Tour"! After being the special guest on their 2025 tour, the band Electric Pyramid will once again be present in 2026.
Thirty years after the dissolution of Dire Straits, their timeless songs have never ceased to captivate 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 accompanied by six internationally renowned musicians, The Dire Straits Experience offers an exceptional live concert, performing the greatest hits from their 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 vocal and guitar mastery. The music is still alive - Their wish is to pass on the legacy of Dire Straits!
