Dire Straits reunion in 2015 or 2016?

Dire Straits reunion in 2015 or 2016?

Dire Straits will probably reconvene for a couple of concerts. A press conference to announce the temporary reunion of one of the biggest rock acts of the eighties and nineties will follow later this year. Former Dire Straits rhythm guitarist Phil Palmer alluded to this backstage after a John Illsley concert in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) on February 26th. Whether the reunion will take place in 2015 or 2016 remains unclear. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the band's official split up. An other possibility for the reunion could be the fact that 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of Dire Straits' latest studio album On Every Street.

The French radio presenter Francis Zegut also announced that yesterday on its blog.
And generally, he is very well informed.

Personally, it would be my dream which comes true.

Totally agree. The reunions of other historical groups gave me so much sadness: pathetic

I really hope it's not true!    Best to remember DS at their best, because I know it would be a huge disappointment   ;)

I would prefer, instead, some Mark & friends concert, like happened in 2002
