Mark Knopfler Bratislava 2013

Posted on September 11, 2012January 2, 2014 by Bratislava Guide

Only one day after the Mark Knopfler concert in Budapest the 63 year old star will come to Bratislava to perform here. The venue for the concert is the popular Sibamac Arena. Unfortunately most artists skip a stop in Bratislava during their large European tours, and that makes it so enjoyable when a world star like Mark Knopfler decides to come to visit our city on his European tour in 2013. Besides Budapest Mark Knopfler will also visit amazing cities such as Amsterdam, London, Paris, Antwerpen and so on. But, why not check out the concert as he comes to to Bratislava, and enjoy the chance to get to know the Slovakian capital much better at the same time.

Mark Knopfler, an amazing guitarist and singer, is also a composer making beautiful songs and film music – so you can for sure expect this to be a concert to remember for a long time, and maybe this will be the concert of the year in Bratislava in 2013? Who knows, but if you want to be there, then order your concert tickets today and prepare for an amazing concert on June 23rd in 2013 in Bratislava.

While in Bratislava, check out the old town and pay a visit to Bratislava castle, a nice attraction in Bratislava.
