The news arrives amidst a year of exciting creative projects from Duran Duran. In Spring the band launched two new perfumes crafted in collaboration with luxury Italian perfume house, Xerjoff. A multi-sensory live theatrical launch marked the unveiling of the fragrances, NeoRio and Black Moonlight – the latter named after the Danse Macabre album’s lead single. Watch the music video filmed by legendary Swedish director Jonas Åkerlund (Madonna, Beyoncé, Metallica, Lady Gaga) here.

The band kicked off their Europe 2025 tour following a major appearance at the 75th annual Sanremo Music Festival – a full circle moment 40 years after their debut there in 1985. The performance featured Måneskin bassist Victoria De Angelis performing ‘Psycho Killer’, another Danse Macabre album favourite. Amongst their busy live schedule, Duran Duran have also been in the studio together this year working on new material– most recently with Nile Rodgers at Abbey Road in London.

Duran Duran have scored 18 American hit singles and 21 UK Top 20 tunes, making them one of the most successful and influential bands of all time. They have also been honoured with eight lifetime achievement awards, two GRAMMYs, two BRITs, and two Ivor Novellos, one of which was for their Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

The news of the Headline show follows a series of landmark achievements for the band, including their 10th UK Top 5 album Danse Macabre, sold-out UK and US arena tours, headlining Latitude Festival 2024, performing at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, closing the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in their hometown of Birmingham, and their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
