    The event vibe

    From sold out arena performances across Europe, the celebrated Dire Straits Experience continue their Long Highway World Tour to Australia and New Zealand in August 2026.

    Assembled by Dire Straits veteran Chris White and prodigious singer-guitarist Terence Reis, this world class ensemble reignites the greatest hits from Mark Knopfler's platinum catalogue with the breathtaking skill and showmanship of the original 120-million-selling stadium phenomenon.

    Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, So Far Away, Brothers in Arms, Sultans of Swing, Romeo and Juliet, Tunnel of Love, Telegraph Road, Private Investigations …and much more… in a two-hour show with full concert production.

The seven-piece ensemble has been handpicked from the highest echelons of the international touring circuit, with combined experience spanning amongst others, Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Sam Brown, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Nik Kershaw, George Michael, Jamiroquai, The Killers, The Waterboys, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Midge Ure, Albert Lee and Tom Jones.

    Fans will be looking forward to the bands return and they won’t disappoint!

    “Remarkable how you could just close your eyes and be transported back to an original Dire Straits gig. Brilliant musicians.”

    “Totally blown away! – Not just by the exceptional musicianship on display but also the quality of the sound that was delivered.”

      We acknowledge the First Peoples throughout Victoria and their ongoing connection to the land and waters.

      For over 60,000 years they have cared for Country and preserved our beautiful landscapes. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present.

      We are grateful for their custodianship, their knowledge and their resilience.

      We would also like to acknowledge our First Peoples as Australia’s original storytellers. Their rich storytelling inspires us to share how special Melbourne and Victoria is with the world.
