40th Anniversary Tribute Concert for Dire Straits' Legendary 'Alchemy' Performance

Marking a milestone, the 40th anniversary of Dire Straits' emblematic 'Alchemy' concert is poised to be commemorated with a special tribute show. Esteemed as one of the most iconic live performances in rock history, the tribute will unfold on Friday, February 9, at Sala Paris in Malaga, presented by the Alchemy Project. Fans will be treated to an evening that channels the essence of Dire Straits, reimagining their timeless hits with authentic fervor.

The Alchemy Project: A Blend of Talent and Homage

The Alchemy Project, revered for their faithful renditions of Dire Straits' music, will be fronted by lead singer and guitarist Roberto Sánchez, emulating the renowned Mark Knopfler. Sánchez's dedication to the craft earned him recognition when John Illsley, Dire Straits' original bassist and co-founder, selected him to open for his own tour across Spain in 2019.

A Setlist Spanning the Greats

The show promises a rich setlist that not only features the entirety of the famous Alchemy concert—with acclaimed tracks such as 'Sultans of Swing' and 'Romeo & Juliet'—but also delves into later works. Audience members will rejoice in the performance of classics like 'Brothers In Arms', 'Money For Nothing', and 'Walk Of Life', played in the style of their live Wembley ’85 presentations. The evening is set to deliver an astonishing two and a half hours of music, celebrating the legacy and enduring impact of Dire Straits.
