Duran Duran’s headline show at BST Hyde Park is a night out with one of the most successful and influential bands in pop history.

Long time band mates Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor are known for their electrifying live performances and pioneering synth-pop sound. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees continue to prove why they are enduring music royalty with sold-out tours and critically acclaimed releases, with new music soon to be announced for 2026.
Scissor Sisters have cited Duran Duran as a major influence, long shared a mutual creative respect and been guests on tour with our headliners. They made their long-awaited return in 2025 after more than a decade apart, reuniting to mark the 20th anniversary of their iconic self-titled debut. With Jake Shears, Babydaddy and Del Marquis back together, they headed out on a huge, sold-out UK arena tour in, performed a legendary Saturday night Glastonbury set and a co-headlined a summer tour with Kesha across the USA.
Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK, says: “Duran Duran have long defined the very best of British music, conquering charts around the world. Their return to BST Hyde Park, joined by the incredible Scissor Sisters, promises a night of iconic, era‑defining hits and one of the standout moments for fans this summer.”
