Dire Streets

Dire Streets tickets in York

Dire Streets is a six-piece tribute band dedicated to the music of Dire Straits, performing a two-hour show at the Grand Opera House York. The concert covers classic studio tracks and extended versions drawn from Dire Straits' live catalogue, with a focus on musicianship rather than impersonation.

What the show offers

The two-hour programme moves between faithful renditions of studio tracks and longer versions associated with Dire Straits' concert performances. The band places particular emphasis on reproducing Mark Knopfler's guitar playing and vocal style, which it regards as the defining characteristic of the original group's sound.

The tribute approach

Dire Streets do not attempt to physically resemble the original band members and use no costumes as part of the performance. The six-piece lineup is drawn from tribute musicians whose priority is the music rather than visual presentation. The band has performed to theatre audiences across the UK for over a decade.
