Duran Duran

Duran Duran, British pop, rock and new wave group formed in Birmingham, takes to the stage at the Movistar Arena in Madrid as part of their Free to Love Tour.

Duran Duran are a British music group formed in Birmingham in 1978 and associated with new wave. After several changes of membership, their line-up was consolidated in 1980 with Simon Le Bon as lead vocalist, Roger Taylor on drums and Andy Taylor on guitar, alongside Nick Rhodes and John Taylor, who had started the project. Their blend of elaborate pop, synthesisers and rock-style guitars placed them among the leading figures of the new romantic movement and of the so-called second British invasion of the United States.

Their debut album, released in 1981, included tracks such as Planet Earth and Girls on Film. Rio, from 1982, was the record that brought them international recognition, with Hungry Like the Wolf, Save a Prayer and the title track.

On this stop in Madrid, the band performs with its full line-up, Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor, as part of their Free to Love Tour. The setlist covers songs such as Ordinary World, Come Undone, A View to a Kill, The Reflex and Rio, along with the new track Free to Love, co-written and produced with Nile Rodgers. Movistar Arena is a Madrid venue that hosts mainly pop, rock and indie concerts.
