The ever popular band Duran Duran arrived in Malta this afternoon for their first ever concert in Malta on Saturday.

The members of the group - the original line-up of Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor - were given an enthusiastic welcome by a small roup of fans and paused to sign autographs.

The ‘boys’ said they were excited to be performing in Malta for the first time, seeing it as a fitting follow-up to their successful concerts in Italy. Their last concert, in Calabria, drew 50,000. While in Malta they also intend to take a short break.

The concert, at the Luxol Grounds, forms part of the band’s successful Red Carpet Massacre tour

Ira Losco and Tony Moore will provide the backing acts.
