Global music icons Duran Duran have announced their first full UK arena tour in three years. Taking place in October, the shows land amongst another landmark year for the band, 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.
Tickets are on sale from Friday 5th June at 10:00 BST here.

Free To Love’ arrives during an epic 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.
Live, the band remain unstoppable, selling out arenas across the UK and North America during their Future Past Tour, playing a landmark headline Halloween show at Manchester’s Co-op Live in 2025 and being awarded the “Città di Sanremo” at Italy’s Sanremo Festival last year for their extraordinary contributions to the event, 40 years since their debut. And, in 2026, alongside the new vinyl releases of The Wedding Album and Thank You, Duran Duran are back on the road and looking ahead to a month-long run through Europe in summer. Full dates are detailed here.
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. Their debut album, OUTTANATIONAL is a thrilling collection of party songs without limits.
