Duran Duran will return to Paris for a major concert at Accor Arena on October 28, 2026, following a previous appearance at the Zénith in October 2025. The legendary British band, one of the defining names of 1980s new wave and pop, will give fans the chance to relive some of their biggest hits live, including “The Reflex,” “Ordinary World,” “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Rio,” “Save a Prayer,” and “A View to a Kill,” their well-known James Bond theme. Ticket sales are scheduled to begin on Friday, June 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.
With a career spanning more than four decades, Duran Duran has built an extensive catalogue that includes 16 studio albums since 1981 and has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide, with total record sales exceeding 100 million globally. Although their most recent releases have not matched the impact of their early work, the band’s early-1980s output remains central to their legacy and continues to power their live performances.

Duran Duran was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 and remains a strong live attraction, regularly drawing large audiences. Their 2024-2025 tour, which also included stops in France, was frequently sold out, showing that their appeal extends beyond longtime fans. Their mix of recognizable hits, sleek stage presence, and a visual style strongly associated with the 1980s has helped the group connect with younger listeners as well.
Over the years, the band has earned numerous honors and cemented its place in pop music history. Duran Duran has scored 18 U.S. chart hits and 21 singles in the U.K. Top 20. Among its awards are two GRAMMYs, two Ivor Novello Awards, two BRIT Awards, including a 2004 recognition for outstanding contribution to music, as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The group also holds a unique distinction in the James Bond universe: its song “A View to a Kill” remains the only Bond theme to reach No. 1 in the United States. With decades of success, a powerful catalogue of hits, and continued live demand, Duran Duran’s upcoming Paris date is expected to attract both longtime supporters and a new generation of fans.
