What makes us long for The Dire Straits Experience?

I have been working with The Dire Straits Experience since 2016. The collaboration started a bit hesitantly, but over the years it has grown into much more than a work relationship. Every spring and fall we present at least 2 shows in Belgium and the fan base keeps growing. There is something weird about this. I just saw 2 concerts and I already know that in a few months, I will start longing for another show. During corona, whenever a Dire Straits song came on the radio, tears welled up in my eyes. It’s a drug, but a healthy one. And a lot of people feel the same way. The Brussels show next November is already sold out. So, I’m not the only one who wants to feel the music and experience the show time and time again.

Journalist Sandro wrote in a review that this band is so much more exciting and charismatic than the original band. That’s quite a compliment for the band and for me as the concert promoter. Chris White is the ultimate British gentleman, Terence Reis is a virtuoso on the guitars and his voice comes so close to Mark Knopfler’s. Add to that the truly world class band and their relentlessness to perform the ultimate show time and time again and that’s what makes The Dire Straits Experience what it is: a band we cannot wait to see again!
