The Dire Straits were a band of superlatives. With Mark Knopfler's distinctive guitar playing and deep voice immediately recognizable, they rose from small bar concerts to the biggest stages on the planet in just under a decade.

As a counterpoint to the then-popular punk rock, the always cash-strapped ("Dire Straits") musicians had only a brief niche existence with their many musical influences, before quickly becoming one of the most well-known and successful bands in music history, selling over 120 million records in their career.

With "Sultans of Swing," they achieved breakthrough success in the late 70s, putting Mark Knopfler in the spotlight as a singer, composer, and above all, guitarist. The group reached their zenith in the mid-80s with the song "Money For Nothing," a collaboration with fellow "Geordie" Sting.

However, success and the high expectations took a toll on the involved musicians. After the success of the final album "On Every Street" (38x platinum worldwide) and the eponymous world tour from 1991-1992 with a total of 229 concerts, Mark Knopfler announced in 1995 that the band would henceforth be inactive and would not play any more public concerts.

This final phase is now the focus of the tribute show "One Night of Dire Straits."
Guitarist and singer Alex Moll, together with his exquisitely assembled band of live and studio musicians, takes the audience on a journey full of fascinating and handmade music.

Moll studied Knopfler's music and guitar playing since his youth and gathers in his band only companions who have the Dire Straits in their blood as much as he does. Moll not only manages to coax the same sounds out of his guitar that made Mark Knopfler world-famous but also elevates the energy and joy of playing of the nine-member band to the level of the original.

With a song selection that leaves nothing to be desired, "One Night of Dire Straits" guarantees an outstanding concert evening for all fans of Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits, and handmade music that immediately gets into your ear.
