The band’s current lineup includes lead singer Simon Le Bon, bassist John Taylor, keyboard player Nick Rhodes and drummer Roger Taylor.

Duran Duran previously played Europe in summer 2025 with stops in Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the UK, with support from Nile Rodgers & CHIC.

Shortly after, the iconic British pop-rock band announced a “one-night-only exclusive Halloween” set in the UK for the very first time, following the sold-out festivities in Madison Square Garden last fall. The spooky season tradition was born in 2022 at the Wynn Theatre in Las Vegas and has since become a highly-anticipated annual event, spanning the band’s biggest hits and classics, along with darkly reimagined rare tracks, later immortalized by the group’s 16th album, Danse Macabre.
