About
Duran Duran have always reveled in the shadows, playing with artistic, aesthetic, and emotional extremes. As much as you can move and shout along to the timeless chants of Hungry Like the Wolf, Ordinary World, or Rio, it feels most natural do so under the cover of night. They’re the ultimate soundtrack to sharing secrets in close whispers on the dancefloor before the lights go up. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® in 2022, they’ve sold north of 100 million albums around the world in addition to scoring 18 American chart hits and 21 Top 20 UK smashes. Their various awards and accolades have included two GRAMMY® Awards, two Ivor Novellos, two BRIT Awards (including “Outstanding Contribution to Music” in 2004), and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They penned the only James Bond theme to reach #1 in the US, while David Lynch helmed their concert film. Summing up their enduring impact, Vanity Fair proclaimed, “Duran Duran’s always been about constant innovation and the ‘new’.” Given a penchant and flair for fashion, rock music never looked the same after their emergence. Still producing genre-shaping tracks more than four decades into their career, the global music icons have now unveiled their first new music of 2026: "Free To Love", an infectious disco single featuring longtime collaborator Nile Rodgers. The song’s riotous debut will be cemented by a US and European tour this year – including headlining festival appearances at BeachLife in California, Heartland in Denmark and London’s BST Hyde Park.
