In 1995, Dire Straits played their final shows – and for millions of fans, it felt like the end of an era. Yet their timeless songs never stopped capturing hearts. Now, The Dire Straits Experience brings that music roaring back to life. The Dire Straits Experience have just announced their headline shows in the Cork Opera House, Cork on Wednesday 4th March, Gleneagle Arena (INEC), Killarney on Thursday 5th March, TF Royal, Castlebar on Saturday 7th March, and the 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on Sunday 8th March 2026 as part of The Long Highway Tour.
Fronted by original Dire Straits member Chris White and featuring six world-class musicians, the band delivers an electrifying live show packed with classics like Sultans of Swing, Money for Nothing, Private Investigations, and many more.
Praised around the globe as the closest you’ll ever get to the original, The Dire Straits Experience recreates the magic with stunning authenticity. Chris White himself says that Terence Reis is the only artist who can match the vocal and guitar mastery of Mark Knopfler – and that’s a statement from someone who knows.
With a line-up of musicians who have performed alongside Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, and Mike Oldfield, every performance is a celebration of one of the greatest rock bands in history.
