Duran Duran announce Liverpool arena show as part of 2026 UK tour

Duran Duran are heading back to Liverpool as part of a major UK arena tour in 2026.

The legendary pop group will bring their huge catalogue of hits to the M&S Bank Arena on Friday 23 October, with Liverpool among just six UK cities selected for the tour.

Fronted by Simon Le Bon, Duran Duran have been one of the most successful British bands of the past four decades, selling more than 100 million records worldwide and creating some of the biggest songs of the 1980s and beyond.

Liverpool fans can expect to hear classics including Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf and A View To A Kill when the band takes to the stage on the city’s waterfront next autumn.

The Liverpool date sits alongside performances in Glasgow, Belfast, Birmingham and Leeds, with indie band Pigeon joining the tour as special guests.

The announcement follows a busy year for the group, who recently released new single Free To Love with music legend Nile Rodgers and are also set to headline the British Summer Time festival in London.

Duran Duran, made up of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 and remain one of the UK’s most influential pop acts.

Tickets for the Liverpool show at M&S Bank Arena go on general sale from 10am on 5 June, with presale access available on 3 and 4 June.
