Speaking about the upcoming dates, Simon Le Bon reveals, “It’s remarkable to me that as a band, we
are still hitting new milestones, and introducing the sound of DD to new generations of music lovers. We
are truly grateful that we get to do what we do on a daily basis, and that we still love our job as much as
we did when we started out some four decades ago."

2022 served as something of a landmark year for Duran Duran, having just been inducted into the Rock
& Roll Hall Of Fame, a career peak that followed a summer live season of epic proportions - headlining
London’s Hyde Park in front of 60,000 people, performing at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Concert at
Buckingham Palace and closing the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in their home town
of Birmingham, not to mention a headline tour across North America which included sold out shows at
New York City’s Madison Square Garden and three nights at the Hollywood Bowl. The cinematic release
of their new docu-concert film, ‘A Hollywood High’ followed, before the band capped off the year with a
spectacular performance in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, counting fans down into 2023 in front of a
live audience of over 1 million people on the streets of Manhattan. All this after the huge success of new
studio album FUTURE PAST, hailed as Duran Duran at their best by critics and fans alike, four decades
into their rich and storied career.

Enlisting the help of some of the most exciting names of the last 50 years, with ‘FUTURE PAST, Duran
Duran have delivered another incredible genre-spanning piece of work that once again sets them apart
from the pack. Working alongside DJ / producer Erol Alkan and pioneering Italian composer / producer
Giorgio Moroder, who added his magic to create two instant future classics (‘BEAUTIFUL LIES,’ and
TONIGHT UNITED’), as well as some of the most unexpected and inspiring names in pop including
Swedish hitmaker, Tove Lo on ‘GIVE IT ALL UP,’ ‘Queen of Drill’ Ivorian Doll on ‘HAMMERHEAD’ and
Japan’s CHAI on ‘MORE JOY!’. In addition, Blur’s Graham Coxon co-wrote and lends his guitar to
several tracks on the record and David Bowie’s former pianist Mike Garson adds an exquisite sonic layer
to album closer ‘FALLING’. The record, which was recorded across studios in London and LA over
lockdown, also features long-time collaborator Mark Ronson who co-wrote and played on ‘WING,’ and
was mixed by Mark ‘Spike’ Stent.

The deluxe edition of ‘FUTURE PAST (Complete Edition)’ is out now via BMG. The 2LP set includes all
15 tracks from FUTURE PAST plus Duran Duran’s cover of David Bowie’s “Five Years”. The first LP is
red, the second is green. The gatefold package features a new silver/grey version of the cover art and
also includes two 12′′ x 12′′ art booklets. Listen/order
