Global music legends Duran Duran have announced their first full UK arena tour in three years including a huge show in Glasgow.

Taking place in October, the shows land amongst another landmark year for Duran Duran, surrounded by the release of the euphoric new single ‘Free To Love’ featuring Nile Rodgers, a huge returning moment headlining London’s BST Hyde Park on 5th July for the second time, and more major touring plans.

The UK arena run launches at the Glasgow OVO Hydro on 15th October before landing in Belfast at the SSE Arena on 18th October, Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on 23rd October and closing at Leeds’ First Bank Arena on 24th October. The UK tour will be part of a wider autumn run that includes European shows in Oslo, Stockholm, Hamburg, Cologne, Brussels and Paris, with more to be announced.

New single ‘Free To Love’ reunites Duran Duran with long-time collaborator Nile Rodgers for an uplifting, high-energy anthem built for the dancefloor, blending the band’s signature sophistication with an electrifying modern edge.

‘Free To Love’ arrives during an incredible year for Duran Duran that’s already seen a prestigious multi-night Las Vegas residency at the Fontainebleau, preceded by a headline performance at California’s Beachlife Festival.

Special guests for the UK tour will be Pigeon, a psychedelic five-piece rooted in the English seaside town of Margate, yet making music that transcends borders.

Tickets are on sale from Friday 5th June at 10am.
