Calling all Dire Straits fans...months after Mark Knopfler packed out the Utilita Arena, a top tribute to the band are topping the bill just up the road at O2 Academy Newcastle.
Dire Straits are the band who of course gave us legendary hits like Money for Nothing and Sultans of Swing and you'll hear those classics and more if you get a ticket for The Straits UK at Academy 2 on Saturday, July 13.
While they've only been going for just over a year, The Straits UK have quickly built up a big following and pride themselves on mimicking the legendary band themselves.
Founded in 2018, The Straits UK are made up of six musicians all with a passion for delivering quality music and performance every time.
Residing right here in the North East, the idea to form a tribute to Dire Straits originated with the frontman and drummer, who happen to be father and son Andrew and Dez Lartey.
They have both been life long Dire Straits fans, meaning attention to detail is second to none.
Performing all the hits from Dire Straits back catalogue, with authenticity that has been likened to ‘listening to the real thing’ by many, The Straits UK's show on Saturday is set to be a hot ticket for fans of all things Knopfler and co.
Tickets for The Straits UK at O2 Academy Newcastle are on sale now online from Ticketmaster priced £11.25.
