Mark Knopfler adds Madison Square Garden with Bonnie Raitt to 2019 tour

Dire Straits frontman and guitar great Mark Knopfler has an upcoming 2019 North American summer tour, including two sold-out shows at NYC’s Beacon Theatre, and he now added a much larger NYC show to the tour: Madison Square Garden on September 25. It’s a big double bill with Bonnie Raitt playing as well. Tickets go on sale Friday (5/17) at 10 AM with artist presales beginning Wednesday (5/15) at 10 AM and a Live Nation presale beginning Thursday (5/16) at 10 AM. Each ticket comes with a copy of Knopfler’s new album, Down the Road Wherever.
