DURAN DURAN

The stats on DURAN DURAN are remarkable: a total of over 70 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on 5 continents. More remarkable still is the way they have achieved this, fusing pop music, art and fashion with a unique style and confidence.

When they first broke in the early 1980s Duran Duran single-handedly transformed music video from a gimmicky marketing tool into one of the music industry’s most valued assets. With exotic locations, beautiful girls and stunning effects, Duran Duran took the visual imperatives of the New Romantic movement to another level. Their impact throughout the 1980’s was such that Rolling Stone magazine - adapting the old Beatles’ sobriquet - dubbed them ‘The Fab Five.’

Despite the occasional pause and some re-grouping in the 1990’s, Duran today are an unstoppable force who still command the respect of the finest players in the game. On their current studio album, ‘Red Carpet Massacre’ (released on Epic Records November 2007) they have collaborated with top producers Timbaland and Nate ‘Danja’ Hills, as well as long-time Duran fan Justin Timberlake.

Duran Duran’s future has never looked brighter, or busier. 2007 saw them performing at two of the biggest concert events on planet rock, the memorial Concert For Diana and the Live Earth eco-awareness bash, both at Wembley Stadium.  Autumn brought the new album, which garnered the band members some of the best reviews of their career, and an unprecedented two week launch run on Broadway.  2008, Duran’s 30th anniversary year, saw a massive world tour that stretched for months; and 2009 Lovebox welcomes them for their ONLY festival performance of the year.
