Duran Duran’s new concert movie is set to hit cinemas worldwide this autumn.
The group announced the project on August 10 – aka Duran Duran Appreciation Day – with Simon Le Bon confirming the ‘A Hollywood High, Duran Duran Live in Concert’ release.
In a statement on the group’s website, he said: “It has been an incredible year (August-August) for the band.
“Landmarks include the release of FUTURE PAST and all the attendant successes: Our induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; our participation at the Jubilee concert for the Queen; our incredible show at BST Hyde Park in London; being invited to perform at the opening ceremony at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham; and this featured video of the song TONIGHT UNITED, filmed at a special concert we did on the rooftop of the Aster in Hollywood, CA.
“This track is part of “A Hollywood High, Duran Duran Live in Concert,” which will be released in cinemas in November, 2022.”
He added: “All of these things make us feel much more important than we really are, but that’s OK, it’s an occupational hazard in this business.”
Further details of the project have yet to be confirmed.
The band’s 15th studio album was released last October and features Graham Coxon, Mike Garson, CHAI, Mark Ronson, Ivorian Doll and Tove Lo.
In a review of the record, Retro Pop called ‘Future Past’ “the group’s strongest album in years” and a record that “opens new musical possibilities for Duran Duran”.
