Duran Duran announces farewell tour with stops in Biloxi, Houston - Music News - NOLA.com Duran Duran announces North American Tour
Duran Duran's Simon Lebon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor have announced they will roll out the
Red Carpet one last time in 2008 with 11 shows beginning December 1st in San Antonio, TX and ending at the newly renovated Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ on December 14th, hitting some of the places they were not able to play on their last extended run.
Playing intimate venues for this world tour finale, the band members are excited to bring their critically acclaimed show back to North America. "
Its late-night-lounge, funk-infused sound stands as proof that Duran Duran has no plans to go quietly into that '80s-retro night," claims the Washington Post (5/23/08), with the Boston Herald (5/23/08) reminding readers "the tour's been getting rave reviews from fans, critics and fellow rock stars (the Killers and Billy Corgan have joined the band onstage at different gigs)," and the Miami New Times (5/20/08) affirming, "Better Than: Just about every other show in the last six months by a band existing for more than fifteen years."
Tickets for all of the shows on this upcoming run will go on sale to the general public at different times over the next two weeks. Members of the band's fan community will also have access to pre-sale tickets and VIP packages through
DuranDuranMusic.com - The Official Duran Duran Fan Community.
