Four decades after their first
historic performance in Italy, at the Sanremo song fest in 1985,
British synth-pop band Duran Duran are set to perform again in
three Italian cities in June.
The pop group that rose to fame in the early 1980s through a
series of flashy music videos that portrayed its young members
will hold a concert at Rome's Circus Maximus on June 15-16, at
Bari's Fiera del Levante on June 18 and at the I-DAYS Milan at
the Ippodromo Snai San Siro on June 20.
The band, who celebrated their long-awaited induction into the
'Rock & Roll Hall of Fame' in 2022, have sold over 100 million
records throughout their career.
With 18 singles making the top US charts, 21 Top 20 hits in the
UK and several hits in Italy, the Duran Duran consolidated their
spot as one of the most influential and enduring bands in the
history of music.
They also wrote "A view to a kill", the only James Bond theme
song to have topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and worked with
creatives in film including David Lynch, who directed one of
their most successful film-concert.
Formed in Birmingham in 1978, the Duran Duran boast timeless
hits including "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Ordinary World", "Rio",
"Girls on Film", "The Wild Boys", "The Reflex", "Ordinary
World", "Come Undone".
Their performances in Italy are set to include songs from their
latest album "Danse Macabre" released in October 2023.
