PAST EVENTS
A Summer’s Day Live ft. Dire Straits Legacy Tour
Legends of British rock, Dire Straits, have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide. This Summer, Dire Straits Legacy bring back their iconic music, performed by the original musicians who recorded and toured with Dire Straits from over 30 years ago, and who have performed live as Dire Straits on multiple global tours. Dire Straits Legacy is as original as it gets. The band takes to Aotearoa stages this summer for 'A Summer's Day Live' – returning as the premiere Aotearoa Summer concert series.
Headlining alongside Dire Straits Legacy is the massive Scottish rock act Nazareth; one of the most successful rock bands in the world with a repertoire of global hits spanning five decades, now making history as their first time on Aotearoa soil.
