Overview & what to expect
Multi-platinum pop icons Duran Duran play the M&S Bank Arena as part of their major 2026 UK arena tour. Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor bring four decades of timeless hits to the waterfront stage.
The show spans the band's entire groundbreaking career, from early 1980s MTV breakthroughs like "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Rio", and "Girls on Film", to 1990s masterpieces "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone", alongside tracks from their acclaimed gothic-tinged album Danse Macabre.
The concert coincides with the opening night of Liverpool's free River of Light trail, meaning the waterfront between the Pier Head and Kings Dock will be exceptionally lively throughout the evening.
