A Duran Duran concert at Madrid's Movistar Arena brings the British new wave pioneers back to the city on their Free To Love Tour, with Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor on stage. It is the band's only Spanish date of this tour, built around a catalogue that shaped 1980s pop and the music-video era.
What it is
Formed in Birmingham in 1978, Duran Duran became one of the defining British bands of the new romantic and new wave scene. Their 1981 debut album brought Planet Earth and Girls on Film, and the band has gone on to sell more than 100 million records.
The Free To Love Tour takes its name from the group's new song, written and produced with Nile Rodgers. Alongside it, the catalogue includes hits such as Ordinary World, Come Undone, Hungry Like the Wolf, Save a Prayer, A View to a Kill, The Reflex and Rio.
The band entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, recognised for its influence on pop, fashion and the music video. This Madrid date marks their return to the city after 21 years, and it takes place indoors at the Movistar Arena, the multipurpose arena in the Barrio de Salamanca.
Why it's worth your time
This is the one chance to see Duran Duran in Spain on the Free To Love Tour, and the band's first Madrid visit in 21 years. The show suits listeners who grew up with the 1980s singles as well as newer fans arriving through the Nile Rodgers collaboration. A line-up with Le Bon, Rhodes and both Taylors, in an arena built for large-scale concerts, keeps the focus on the songs.
