Speaking backstage from their concert in Melbourne, Australia today, Duran Duran front-man Simon LeBon said how much they were looking forward to performing in the UK. “This is going to be extremely exciting show for us”, he said, “taking a very different format to the last world tour we did in 2006. We are introducing a lot of new elements into the mix - both musically and in terms of the staging. We have been working on completely different arrangements for some of the older material and will be integrating a lot of our latest record into the performances. We need to keep things fresh – not only for ourselves, but also for our audiences, who can be assured of a lot of surprises with this new production.”
The bands smash its include ‘Planet Earth,’ ’Girls on Film’, ’Hungry Like the Wolf,’ ’Save a Prayer’, ’Rio’, ’Is There Something I Should Know?’, ‘The Reflex,’ ’Wild Boys’ and ‘Ordinary World’
With their ‘RED CARPET MASSACRE WORLD TOUR’ now underway, in support of the release of their 12th studio album. Taking in more than 30 cities across 16 countries, the four original members of Duran Duran: Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, Roger Taylor and John Taylor will take Europe by storm with a spectacular new production that showcases their latest record, alongside all of the fan-favorites from their vast catalogue of hits.
This upcoming leg of the tour will see the group’s first performances in continental Europe since the release of Red Carpet Massacre (Epic Records), which the band launched in November ‘07 with an unprecedented Broadway residency at New York’s Ethel Barrymore Theatre. In a bold move, Duran Duran performed the new record in its entirety to sold-out houses every night for two weeks on The Great White Way, prior to the album’s global launch. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response from fans and critics alike, the band are now taking a specially tailored version of this three-act show on the road around the world, starting in New Zealand.
Red Carpet Massacre marks an all-time creative high for the band, who wrote and recorded this ground-breaking album with producers Timbaland and Nate ‘Danja’ Hills, alongside today’s reigning king of pop, Justin Timberlake.
During an illustrious career spanning three decades, Duran Duran have remained at the forefront of popular music, consistently pushing the creative envelope and breaking new ground. Since their inception, the band have sold over 70 million albums, recorded countless hit records, received numerous accolades, and have been presented with no fewer than five prestigious “Lifetime Achievement” awards since 2002 (MTV Video Music Award, Q Magazine, The BRITS, Ivor Novello, Spanish Ondas).
