DS:UK – The ON anoTHEr NIGHT TOUR – 2026

1991 brought us the final Dire Straits album – On Every Street – and was
commemorated by an enormous 2 year world tour that was one of their
most successful to date.

In On Every Street, Mark created some classic Dire Straits songs such
as Calling Elvis, The Bug and On Every Street and the expanded line-up
created yet another ‘sound’ that remained instantly recognisable as
“Dire Straits”.

Over the past few tours, , DS:UK have become THE Dire Straits tribute show for true fans of Mark
Knopfler’s incredible band, earned by delivering the music with an attention to detail that few
tribute bands strive for.

The ON anoTHEr NIGHT show is DS:UK’s 5th tour, representing the
final era of Dire Straits’ phenomenal career, and brings a genuine and
unique experience that will bring fans the tracks they love from On
Every Street, alongside the classic Dire Straits songs you love to hear.
This will be DS:UK’s most packed and exciting set yet… are you and
your friend gonna come around?

Reviews

Becs Gifford recommends DS:UK -THE Dire Straits Tribute Show.
December 29, 2024

"Oh my we had such a lovely time seeing DS:Uk in Norwich, Maddermarket theatre. The quality of
the band members are amazing and it was very moving listening to Romeo and Juliet and Sultans
of Swing. The stories in between the songs added to the evening, and everyone we went with had
a great time. We can’t wait to see the Brothers in Arms tour 2025. If you love Dire Straits then do
go and see DS:Uk it’s a brilliant tribute to the music.

Very much looking forward to seeing them again in Canterbury 2025 for their Money for their
Brothers in ‘85 tour!!

"Have seen their show a few times and have again booked for another. If you are a Dire Straits fan
or enjoy live music then you will not be disappointed. One of the best band I have seen and they
continue to impress. One show not to be missing.

DIRECT FROM THE WORLD-FAMOUS CAVERN CLUB, LIVERPOOL

Beatles Complete present a night of Beatlemania packed with massive hits from the most influential band of all time.

Having now performed over 200 shows at the world-famous Cavern Club, this Liverpool-based ‘beat combo’ are the youngest-ever Beatles band to gain a residency at The Cavern Club, where they still perform on Thursdays and some Saturdays.

Aged between 18 and 22, Beatles Complete are the closest thing you will get to the unbridled joy of seeing the young Beatles when they first lit up the world. They can’t promise all the screaming and tears from the 60s, but they can give you a host of classic songs, brilliantly performed by a band who are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Beatle world.

Having performed at International Beatle Week for the last four years running, the lads have been invited to return again for 2025 and are continuing to take their extended show to theatres across the UK. The band has also appeared on BBC, as well as on TV in Japan and The Netherlands.

This show is not to be missed by all Beatles fans, performed by a band who are quickly making a name for themselves due to their musical prowess, boundless energy, and easy Liverpool wit.

The Beatles were a phenomenon in musical history – Beatles Complete remind you why.

“One of the most exciting Beatles tributes around.”Cavern Club, Liverpool
