Introduction to Duran Duran’s Latest Venture
Duran Duran’s Danse Macabre Halloween Party has evolved into a uniquely theatrical live experience, conjured from their legendary performance at the Wynn Theatre in Las Vegas in 2022, which spawned the acclaimed 2023 album Danse Macabre. The band’s creative partnership with Italian luxury perfume house Xerjoff will once again be on full display, bringing its bewitching spirit to The O2. With two intoxicating Xerjoff Blends, Black Moonlight and NeoRio, the partnership has developed through a shared focus on craftsmanship, beauty, and sensory storytelling.
The UK Arena Tour 2026
The London date at The O2 is the finale to the band’s UK arena tour 2026, their first full run in the UK for three years, which begins at the Glasgow OVO Hydro on 15 October before landing in Belfast at the SSE Arena on 18 October, Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on 20 October, Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on 23 October, and Leeds’ First Direct Bank Arena on 24 October. The UK tour will be part of a wider autumn run that includes European shows in Oslo, Stockholm, Hamburg, Cologne, Brussels, Paris, and Lisbon. It’s a testament to the band’s enduring popularity and their ability to still draw in crowds from all over the world.
