Down The Road Wherever, the follow-up to 2015’s Tracker, will be released on 16 November on his own British Grove label via Universal/Virgin EMI. It is preceded by the lead track ‘Good On You Son.’

‘My songs are made to be performed live,” says Knopfler. “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.”

    This is a tour of Europe and North America. Not really a world tour. Your headline can be improved?
