The October show is the last UK live performance ahead of their annual Halloween Spectacular Danse Macabre Party
Duran Duran has announced a one-night-only headline show at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on October 26th. The exclusive show will give fans a final chance to experience the magic of Duran Duran live in the UK before the band transforms for their Halloween extravaganza at Manchester’s Co-Op Live on October 31st.
Presales start on Wednesday, July 9th at 8 am local time ahead of the general sale on Friday, July 11th.
In response to overwhelming UK demand, Duran Duran adds a special extension to its Europe 2025 tour. The band is currently performing across Ireland, Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Germany, and Spain.
This Nottingham Motorpoint Arena concert will arrive ahead of the British icons’ first UK Halloween show. The band is summoning all Halloween enthusiasts to show up, dress up, and celebrate All Hallows’ Eve in style at Manchester’s Co-Op Live on Friday, October 31, 2025, for a night filled with essential hits, alongside rarely-played songs from the Duran Duran crypt. The show continues a now highly anticipated annual tradition, The Danse Macabre Halloween Party was originally conceptualized at a fabled October 31st gig for the ages in 2022 at the Wynn Theatre, Las Vegas. Now that special night is immortalized across 13 songs on the band’s 16th studio album, Danse Macabre – a spectacular record that threads together new music, themed covers, and darkly reimagined versions of Duran Duran’s classic songs.
The news arrives amidst a year of exciting creative projects from Duran Duran. In the spring, the band launched two new perfumes crafted in collaboration with luxury Italian perfume house, Xerjoff. A multi-sensory live theatrical launch marked the unveiling of the fragrances, NeoRio and Black Moonlight – the latter named after the Danse Macabre album’s lead single.
The band kicked off their Europe 2025 tour following a major appearance at the 75th annual Sanremo Music Festival – a full circle moment 40 years after their debut there in 1985. The performance featured Måneskin bassist Victoria De Angelis performing “Psycho Killer,” another Danse Macabre album favorite. Amongst their busy live schedule, Duran Duran has also been in the studio together this year working on new material– most recently with Nile Rodgers at Abbey Road in London.
