Following a sold out October date, The Straits have announced a return to The Olympia Theatre on 6th March 2012. The Straits were formed by former members Alan Clark, Phil Palmer & Chris White of Dire Straits due to the substantial demand to hear the band’s much love catalogue of great songs. The Straits includes some of the world’s top session players to form a sensational live band.

During Dire Straits’ career they sold 120 million albums worldwide, received three BRIT Awards, four Grammys and two MTV Music Awards.
