Duran Duran’s Halloween shows have become an annual event
Duran Duran began its Halloween concerts in Las Vegas in 2022, when the band was preparing for its Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
Keyboard player Nick Rhodes suggested turning the date into a themed show, with costumes and specially chosen songs.
The concert was a success, and the Halloween performances became an annual event.
The band played at Madison Square Garden in 2024 and Manchester’s Co-op Live in 2025.
The shows also led to Danse Macabre, an album released in 2023 that includes covers and features guitarist Andy Taylor, who left the band in 2007.
Duran Duran’s next Halloween show is scheduled for the O2 in London this year.
Duran Duran’s Halloween concerts have become an annual event after a themed Las Vegas show proved successful.

The Halloween shows also led to the band’s 2023 album Danse Macabre.
This year’s Halloween concert is scheduled to take place at London’s O2.
