Duran Duran have revealed the complete line-up of support acts for their headline performance at the British Summer Time (BST) festival in Hyde Park on 10 July. The pop legends will be joined by Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Laura Mvula, Aurora, and Warmduscher for the closing night of the event.
Nile Rodgers & CHIC previously performed with the band at the Platinum Jubilee's Party at the Palace. Norwegian singer Aurora, known for her frosty electronic textures and emotive vocals, will make her BST debut. Her latest album, The Gods We Can Touch, reached the UK Top 10 earlier this year.
London-based post-punks Warmduscher will also bring their raucous live performance to the festival. Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon expressed his excitement, noting that he has featured five of the acts on his radio show, WHOOOSH!.
Drummer Roger Taylor described the concert as 'a really iconic moment in our history', while bassist John Taylor highlighted the curated line-up of new artists and old friends. The band's only London show of 2022 marks their BST Hyde Park debut.
Duran Duran are also set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November. The BST Hyde Park series also features headliners Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Eagles, Adele, and Pearl Jam.
