Duran Duran has surprised fans by announcing a five-date UK arena tour set to take place later this year. The legendary British rock band, known for hits like "Rio" and "Hungry Like the Wolf," had previously confirmed a headline show at BST Hyde Park this summer, which was their only confirmed UK performance. Now, five new arena shows have been revealed, spanning from Glasgow's OVO Hydro to Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena, scheduled from October 15 to October 24, 2026.
Tour Announcement and Fan Demand
The "Rio" hitmakers have been absent from UK stages for several years, generating significant demand from their dedicated fanbase. With arenas now firmly in their sights, Duran Duran fans will finally have the opportunity to see them perform some of their greatest and most beloved tracks live. The setlist is expected to include classics such as "Hungry Like The Wolf," "Come Undone," "Girls on Film," "Invisible," and many more.

Tickets will be released via general onsale at the end of the week, available to everyone. However, a presale event has already begun.
