Eighties pop band Duran Duran have been announced as the latest act to headline the BST Hyde Park series of day festivals.
The group, fronted by Simon Le Bon, will take to the stage in the London park on Sunday July 5, supported by 2000s pop group Scissor Sisters.
Duran Duran join previously announced headliners such as Mumford And Sons, Lewis Capaldi and Pitbull on the bill.
The band – completed in their current line-up by keyboard player Nick Rhodes, bass player John Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor – are best known for hits such as Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf and A View To A Kill, the theme to the 1985 James Bond film.
They have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, scoring two UK number one singles and a number one album, and were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2022.
Scissor Sisters reunited for a string of shows in 2025 to mark the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, and are best known for songs such as Laura, Take Your Mama and I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’.
Jim King, chief executive of the festival organisers AEG Presents UK, said: “Duran Duran have long defined the very best of British music, conquering charts around the world.
“Their return to BST Hyde Park, joined by the incredible Scissor Sisters, promises a night of iconic, era‑defining hits and one of the standout moments for fans this summer.”
Tickets for the gig go on general sale on Wednesday April 1 at 10am on the BST Hyde Park website.
