CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio — Fresh off their 2022 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Duran Duran have announced a 27-date North American tour for 2023.
The classic new wave band will play at Blossom Music Center on Sept. 10, with support from Bastille, Nile Rodgers, and Chic. There is a presale that begins this coming Monday at 10 a.m. and goes until Feb. 15 at 10 p.m., while general ticket sales begin Feb. 16, at 10 a.m. at AXS.com.
"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," singer Simon Le Bon said in a press release. "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, who are known for several hits like "The Reflex" and "A View to a Kill," have been playing shows for much of the past year since their Rock Hall enshrinement. Gigs have included a headlining show at London's Hyde Park in front of 60,000 fans, a performance at the Queens's Platinum Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, and the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.
The band played several headlining shows across the United States, with stops at New York City's Madison Square Garden and three nights at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. They also released "A Hollywood High" — a docu-concert film highlighting a rooftop performance in Los Angeles — and closed out the year with a performance in Times Square on New Year's Eve.
Duran Duran's run spans over 40 years, and their 15th and latest album "Future Past" is out now. The tour will feature songs from that album, including a cover of the David Bowie classic "Five Years."
