Simon Le Bon said: “2022 was an extraordinary year for Duran Duran - mainly down to the incredible fans we have around the world. Last summer we celebrated our years together at Hyde Park as part of the British Summer Time Festival. In the Spring, we will be back on home soil once again to continue the party. It’s remarkable to me that as a band, we are still hitting new milestones, still able to introduce the sound of DD to new generations of music lovers. We are truly grateful that we get to do what we do on a daily basis, and that we still love our job as much as we did when we started out some four decades ago."
2022 saw Duran Duran celebrate an iconic year. Their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame marked a career peak to follow a summer live season of epic proportions. Headlining London’s Hyde Park, performing at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, closing the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in their home town of Birmingham, a headline tour across North America which included sold out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden and three nights at the Hollywood Bowl. The cinematic release of new docu-concert film, ‘A Hollywood High’, capped off by a live performance in New York City’s Times Square on New Year’s Eve as the band led the celebrations counting fans down into 2023 in front of a live audience of over 1 million people on New York City’s streets. All this after the huge success of their new studio album FUTURE PAST, hailed as Duran Duran at their best by critics and fans alike, four decades into their rich and storied career.
