Set & Lighting

Ask Katy

Hi Katy, I was privileged to see the band in two cities on their last tour. It was incredible to see them in two vastly different settings. I was amazed by everything happening on stage. The set design, projections, and, especially, the lighting design were phenomenal. How much involvement do the guys have in those parts of the performance? Rondell

"Hello Rondell, so happy to hear you enjoyed the shows.

The band have always taken great pride in their productions. Over more recent years, Nick has personally taken responsibility for screen content, some of which he makes himself, and other pieces which are collaborations with various artists and video makers. Regarding lighting, this is a critically important part of any show, and of course Nick is interested in making sure that every detail is as good as it can be for every song. The band’s lighting designer, Vince, is the perfect partner for Duran Duran because he understands their music and nobody is better at creating the right atmosphere for each piece. Thanks, Katy."
