Six UK arena dates, seven more across mainland Europe, and the band’s own website calling it their “first full UK arena tour in three years.” Duran Duran announced a UK and EU autumn run stretching from October 2 through November 1, with tickets confirmed directly on the band’s own site.

• UK stops include Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, Belfast’s SSE Arena, Birmingham’s Utilita Arena, Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena, Leeds’ First Direct Arena, and a closing night at London’s O2 Arena on October 31.
• European dates run through Oslo, Stockholm, Hamburg, Cologne, Brussels, Paris, and Lisbon, with more European shows expected to be added.
• British post-punk act Pigeon joins as special guest exclusively for the UK leg of the tour.
• General public tickets went on sale June 5 at 10 a.m. local time, following an earlier VIP Community pre-sale window on June 3, per the band’s own announcement.

Duran Duran formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, and by the early 1980s had become one of MTV’s signature acts, with “Hungry Like the Wolf” turning heavy video rotation into an actual breakthrough single rather than just a novelty. The band followed that with a run of hits — “Girls on Film,” “The Reflex,” “Notorious” — that made them one of the defining acts of the decade’s synth-pop wave, and later hits like “Ordinary World” proved they could outlast the era that made them famous in the first place.

An October 31 finale at the O2 is a fitting close for a band whose visual identity was always half the point — from the “Rio” album cover’s stylized artwork to their MTV-era video budgets, Duran Duran treated spectacle as part of the songwriting. “Hungry Like the Wolf” itself was famously shot on location in Sri Lanka, according to the band’s own retrospective on the shoot — an ambitious, expensive choice for a music video in 1982, and one that paid off: heavy MTV rotation is a big part of what turned the band from a UK new-wave act into a global pop phenomenon. A Halloween night arena show gives them one more excuse to lean into that same instinct decades later.

What makes this tour notably different from a standard legacy-act victory lap is the scale: thirteen confirmed arena dates across two regions, with room for more European stops still to be announced, is a genuinely full touring schedule rather than a scaled-back run of a handful of festival slots. For a band that’s been playing some of these songs for over 40 years, that’s a statement in itself — they’re not just showing up, they’re still booking rooms that hold 10,000-plus people and filling out a genuine touring calendar to do it.
