NME

Duran Duran have announced that they’ll be hitting the road for a North American tour this summer – get tickets here.

Simon Le Bon and co. are set to embark on a 14-date run starting in August in support of their latest album, ‘Future Past’.

Beginning in Welch, Minnesota on August 19, Duran Duran will take in shows at Chicago’s United Center, New York’s Madison Square Garden, and San Francisco’s Chase Center, as well as three nights at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

A number of dates on the tour will see support from Nile Rodgers & Chic.

The tour will come after Duran Duran perform a string of shows in Europe, including their BST Hyde Park gig in London on July 10.

On Wednesday (March 16), the band stopped by The Late Late Show With James Corden to give fans a preview of what they can expect from the forthcoming jaunt, delivering a celebratory rendition of ‘Tonight United’, from ‘Future Past’.
