BOOM, like that!

Fans of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler can go to BOOM, like that! to their heart's content and enjoy this beautiful music. With a two and a half hour show, BOOM, like that! takes her audience into the world of Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler.

Dire Straits (1977-1995) was a British rock band with by far its best-known member, singer-guitarist-songwriter and frontman Mark Knopfler. The band was characterized by Knopfler's unmistakable characteristic guitar playing and 'narrative' voice. In 1995 he left the band to continue as a solo artist.

The band BOOM, like that! has more than made her mark in Dutch theaters. The 7-piece band has been packing full houses for more than ten years and has managed to surprise the audience time and time again with a sound that comes eerily close to that of Dire Straits.

In addition to the music of Dire Straits, this show focuses on the beautiful repertoire of Mark Knopfler. The performance starts with the best solo work from the post-1995 period with hits such as 'What it is' and 'Sailing to Philadelphia'. Then goes BOOM, like that! further back in time with the music of Dire Straits. Who doesn't know the songs? 'Sultans of Swing', 'Brothers in Arms', 'Telegraph Road', 'Money for Nothing' and many more are featured!
