Dire Straits

Dire Straits was een Britse rockband uit Newcastle, Verenigd Koninkrijk, opgericht in 1977 door Mark Knopfler (gitaar en zang), zijn broer David Knopfler (gitaar), John Illsley (bas) en Pick Withers (drums), en vervolgens geleid door Ed Bicknell. De band werd in 2018 opgenomen in de Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Dire Straits ontstond tijdens het postpunk-tijdperk van de late jaren '70, en hoewel hun geluid minimalistisch en uitgekleed was, hadden ze weinig aan punk te danken.
