With his sixth solo studio album coming September 15, Mark Knopfler is planning a big tour in 2010.
“It’ll be four, five months,” the former Dire Straits frontman tells Billboard.com. “Springtime – April, May – in the U.S., and June and July in Europe. And I’d like a week at the Royal Albert Hall (in London). Just doing a week is nice; it’s not too far from where I live, and it’s a good atmosphere in there.”
Proceeds from the album’s first single, ‘Remembrance Day,’ are going to the Poppy Appeal, which supports the Royal British Legion, an organization for present and former members of the British armed services.
MARK KNOPFLER played in Sofia – Bulgaria in June 2008.
