The band will perform five headline shows throughout April and May 2023, kicking off in Manchester on April 29, with stops in London, Leeds and Birmingham, before finishing up in Dublin in May 7.

Pre-sale tickets go on sale 10am GMT on Tuesday, November 22, while general sale starts Friday, November 25, and can be purchased here.

Speaking about the upcoming shows, frontman Simon Le Bon said: “2022 has been an extraordinary year for Duran Duran – mainly down to the incredible fans we have around the world. In July we celebrated our years together at Hyde Park as part of the British Summer Time Festival.

“Next Spring we will be back on home soil once again to continue the party. It’s remarkable to me that as a band, we are still hitting new milestones, still able to introduce 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.”
