Duran Duran<\/a> have been announced as headliners for BST Hyde Park 2026<\/a> in London. Find all the details below.<\/p>\n

The iconic \u201980s band are due to perform on the Great Oak Stage in the capital on Sunday July 5, as part of this year\u2019s edition of the live concert series.<\/p>\n

Simon Le Bon and co. will be joined on the day by special guests Scissor Sisters<\/a>. The full supporting line-up is set to be revealed at a later date.<\/p>\n

Duran Duran previously topped the bill at BST Hyde Park in 2022<\/a>. They had initially been announced for the 2020 edition<\/a>, which was ultimately cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK, said: \u201cDuran Duran have long defined the very best of British music, conquering charts around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir return to BST Hyde Park, joined by the incredible Scissor Sisters, promises a night of iconic, era\u2011defining hits and one of the standout moments for fans this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST next Wednesday (April 3) \u2013 you\u2019ll be able to buy yours here<\/a>. An Amex pre-sale goes live at the same time today (Friday March 27). Alternatively, Duran Duran members can access a pre-sale at 10am BST on Monday (March 30).<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s previously announced headliners for BST Hyde Park are Garth Brooks<\/a> (June 27), Maroon 5<\/a> (July 3), Mumford & Sons<\/a> (July 4), Pitbull<\/a> (July 10) and Lewis Capaldi<\/a> (July 11\/12).<\/p>\n

A new BST sister event, Roundhay Festival<\/a>, is set to launch in Leeds this summer. The only bill-toppers confirmed for this so far are Lewis Capaldi and Pitbull.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Duran Duran\u2019s latest studio album, \u2018Danse Macabre\u2019<\/a>, was released in 2023. Last autumn, the group brought out\u00a0M\u00e5neskin\u2019s Victoria De Angelis\u00a0for a rendition of \u2018Psycho Killer\u2019 at their Halloween show in Manchester<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the band spoke to NME about their desire to perform at Glastonbury<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 something they have surprisingly not yet done. \u201cI\u2019d love to [do it] \u2013 we just need to get the right slot, that\u2019s all,\u201d Le Bon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had the chance to do it before, but it wasn\u2019t playing the main stage and I think we\u2019d like to be doing that for sure. I\u2019m sure we\u2019re in negotiations [with Glastonbury], and if not, we will be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Duran Duran were recently among the musicians to have hit out at President Donald Trump\u2019s administration<\/a> following ICE\u2019s fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that people in this world have a right to live their lives in peace and lives of freedom and happiness in their own country,\u201d Le Bon told the crowd at a gig in California. \u201cFor all the ordinary people in this world, we wish upon you an ordinary world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Duran Duran have been announced as headliners for BST Hyde Park 2026 in London.
