With 18 singles in the US charts and 21 top 20 hits in the UK, the band has cemented its place as one of the most influential and enduring groups in music history. They also penned the only James Bond theme to reach #1 worldwide and have collaborated with some of the most respected creatives in music, film and television, including David Lynch, who directed one of their most successful concert films. Their numerous accolades include eight Lifetime Achievement Awards and a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.Formed in Birmingham in 1978, Duran Duran have always lived in obscurity and have been dedicated to artistic, emotional and aesthetic extremes. Their infectious and timeless hits such as “Hungry Like the Wolf”, “Ordinary World” and “Rio” invite fans to dance and sing along, but there is a special magic in experiencing their music under the veil of night.

In 2023, the band followed up with their 16th studio album Danse Macabre - a dynamic collection of new songs, reinterpreted versions of their iconic hits and daring covers.At their only show in Germany, fans can expect a setlist packed with the band's legendary hits, including Girls on Film, The Wild Boys, The Reflex, Ordinary World, Come Undone and Rio.
