DIRE STREETS – Dire Straights Tribute
Dire Streets bring to life the classic songs of one of the world’s greatest guitar bands with a level of musicianship and attention to detail that makes them the stand out Dire Straits tribute in the UK.
The two-hour theatre show includes faithful renditions of classic studio tracks along with extended live versions from some of the legendary Dire Straits concerts.
For the best part of a decade, Dire Streets have performed Dire Straits’ incredible back catalogue to thousands of theatre-goers across the UK.
No other Dire Streets tribute act comes as close to reproducing Mark Knopfler’s distinctive guitar and vocal tones – making Dire Streets as near to the original band as you can see live.
The six-piece band is made up of some of the country’s top tribute musicians and delivers a stunning show that fulfils their mission of doing justice to one of the most original and talented bands the UK has ever produced.

Rush Tribute
“If you missed seeing RUSH live, MOVING PICTURES is as close as you’ll ever get to the real thing.” Moshville Times
“Absolutely brilliant. They just get better and better. They are the best tribute I’ve seen and they always pay due respect to the wider RUSH famly past and present.” Ticketmaster review of Newcastle City Hall gig 21/6/25.
This will be a 2112 50th anniversary show featuring the full 2112 suite and songs from every RUSH era.
MOVING PICTURES are one of the hardest working tribute bands on the planet – and it’s paid off. As well as constantly touring the UK and Europe, they’ve headlined RUSHfest Brazil, played in Lakeside Park for Neil Peart’s family and the majestic Massey Hall for RUSHfest Canada.
May 2026 will see them play the mighty Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow.
