Four decades after their first historic performance in Italy, at the Sanremo song festival in 1985, British synth-pop band Duran Duran are set to sing again at the annual music event, its presenter and artistic director Carlo Conti has announced.

"We have just closed" the deal and "we have the final OK because after 40 years the Duran Duran will return to the Ariston" theatre with a performance scheduled in the evening of February 13, said Conti, describing the group as a "timeless band" and "extremely appreciated international guests" who will surprise the public "with special effects".

The 75th edition of the Sanremo festival is scheduled to take place on February 11-15, with Duran Duran performing February 13.

Duran Duran are also set to perform again in three Italian cities in June. The pop group will hold concerts at Rome's Circus Maximus on June 15-16, at Bari's Fiera del Levante on June 18 and at the I-DAYS Milan at the Ippodromo Snai San Siro on June 20.

The band, who celebrated their induction into the 'Rock & Roll Hall of Fame' in 2022, have sold over 100 million records throughout their career. With 18 singles making the top US charts, 21 Top 20 hits in the UK and several hits in Italy, the Duran Duran consolidated their spot as one of the most influential and enduring bands in the history of music.
