Duran Duran concerts 2012

After a long absence, one of the world's most iconic bands, Duran Duran, will return to Australian shores in March 2012, in support of their latest album 'All You Need Is Now'. Last in Australia in 2008, Duran Duran will showcase songs from their critically acclaimed new album, alongside all of the unforgettable hits from across their thirty-year career.

Duran Duran's stunning new album: 'All You Need Is Now', has already been proclaimed a triumph by fans and critics alike. Produced by Grammy Award-winner Mark Ronson, 'All You Need Is Now' is a return-to-roots homage to Duran Duran's most celebrated musical panache, and has already been dubbed the "imaginary follow up to Rio that never was."

The announcement of the band's 2012 Australian dates comes hot on the heels of the release of a uniquely Duran Duran video for the song 'Girl Panic!'. Directed by Grammy-award winner Jonas Åkerlund (who has shot videos for Madonna, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, including the notorious "Telephone"), this dazzling short film reunites top supermodels Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Eva Herzigova and Yasmin Le Bon, and was shot over the course of two days this past June at the Savoy Hotel in London.

The original Duran line-up of Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, and Nick Rhodes continues to reign supreme as one of the biggest British bands of all time - reimagining pop music, creating ground-breaking music videos and winning over millions of new fans worldwide with their unique fusion of music, art, technology and fashion.

Since their first worldwide hits, that included 'Planet Earth', 'Girls on Film', 'Hungry Like The Wolf' and 'Rio', the band have maintained their success and solidified their place within pop music history. As this new chapter begins, they have nothing left to prove, but everything to play for.

So for them and their loyal army of fans... All You Need Is Now!

Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, and Nick Rhodes.
