Duran Duran confirmed as second headliners for BST Hyde Park 2021

Duran Duran will headline London's BST Hyde Park festival on 11 July 2021, and will be joined by Nile Rodgers & CHIC, and Grace Jones, with more guests still to be announced.

The forthcoming show will be Duran Duran's first London show in six years, and will also be their only London appearance in 2021.

The band's Simon Le Bon says of the show, "We are so happy to announce the new date for our return to Hyde Park. This will be our first London show in six years and we are honoured that two of our musical heroes Nile Rodgers and Grace Jones will be joining us on the bill. Seeing as we had to postpone the 2020 show, BST Hyde Park 2021 will be extra special to us. After the year that everyone's been through, we're aiming to make next summer into the kind of party we all deserve."

The forthcoming Duran Duran show is the second BST Hyde Park gig to be announced, following last month's Pearl Jam show announcement with Pixies and IDLES as guests.

Fans who bought tickets to their cancelled 2020 show will be guaranteed tickets to next year's gig if they rebook.
