The iconic new wave pop rockers were one of the defining bands of the British music scene in the 1980s and are still producing new music today. Their latest tour is titled Future Past, after their 2021 album of the same name. At the performances, fans can expect a mix of newer material and the classics that Duran Duran are known for.
Consisting of four ‘core members’ – lead singer Simon Le Bon, alongside bandmates Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor – the group formed in 1978 and rose to fame thanks to tracks like Girls on Film, Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf.
The band is also noted by movie fans for creating the title song of 1985 James Bond film A View to a Kill, and will star in a new documentary film, A Hollywood High, releasing on 18th December.
Now, for fans on this side of the pond, there are several opportunities to see them live in the UK and Ireland, with six huge shows scheduled for 2023. With tickets live now, here’s everything you need to know.
