Fresh off their 2022 Rock Hall inductions, Duran Duran are returning to North America in support of their 2021 album Future Past. The 27-date trek cross-crosses the continent kicks off in California on May 27th at Napa Valley’s Bottlerock Festival and wraps on September 6th at Boston’s TD Garden.
Frontman Simon LeBon said in a statement announcing the tour: “It’s remarkable to me that as a band, we are still hitting new milestones, and introducing the sound of DD to new generations of music lovers. We are truly grateful that we get to do what we do on a daily basis, and that we still love our job as much as we did when we started out some four decades ago.”
Duran Duran won last year’s Rock Hall fan vote and bassist John Taylor admitted to us that he’s never once taken his life and career with the band for granted: “The kind of fortune that Duran Duran was sort of happens once in a lifetime, really. It’s just like kids that come together that happen to, like, be into the same thing — they just happen to go to the right place, the right time, meet ‘Mr. Big’ and da-da-da-da; and suddenly, it’s a snowball effect.”
Although Duran Duran have been global superstars for over 40 years, keyboardist Nick Rhodes explained that they’ve never once coasted when it came to recording or hitting the road: “I don’t think it’s something you can plan. You can hope, you can dream, you can wish for something and work hard and see what you achieve. It’s been a lot of work.”
