About
British music icons Duran Duran are set to delight fans next summer when they head to Essex’s newest live music festival for one of only two UK headline shows in 2025. Duran Duran have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, scored 18 American hit singles and 21 UK Top 20 tunes, cementing them as one of the most successful and influential bands of all time. Formed in Birmingham in 1978, the band – singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor – continue to play to huge concert audiences around the world. Consistently fusing art, technology, fashion and a signature sense of style with their unique and infectious brand of music, the band has proven themselves timeless, always innovating and reinventing, to remain ahead of the curve. 2021’s Future Past saw the group earn widespread acclaim from Salon, Rolling Stone, and more, while last year saw the iconic UK quartet unearth bright melodies from darkness as they threaded together new tunes, covers, and alternate versions of their own classics on their 16th studio album, Danse Macabre. The two-time GRAMMY, BRIT Award and Ivor Novello winners will play only two UK headline shows in 2025 at Chelmsford City Live and Powderham Castle in Exeter.
