Mark Knopfler has announced plans for a headlining North American tour for summer next year in support of his new album Down the Road Wherever.
Down the Road Wherever is set to be released on November 16.
Knopfler will perform with a 10-piece band between August 16 and September 22, 2019.
Knopfler said in a statement that his songs are “made to be performed live.” “I love the whole process of writing them alone and then recording them with the band, but ultimately the best part is playing them to an audience live. I enjoy the whole circus, travelling from town to town and interacting with this group of players is a total pleasure. I’m really looking forward to it,” the former Dire Straits frontman added.
