Duran Duran set for special Halloween gig at Co-op Live

British music icons Duran Duran have announced a special Halloween show at Manchester’s Co-op Live.

Performing on Fri 31 Oct, fans can expect a one-night-only exclusive Halloween set filled with the essential hits, alongside rarely-played songs from the Duran Duran crypt.

Now a highly anticipated annual tradition, The Danse Macabre Halloween Party was originally conceptualised at a fabled October 31st gig in 2022 at the Wynn Theatre, Las Vegas. Now that special night is immortalised across 13 songs on the band’s 16th studio album, Danse Macabre.

Speaking ahead of the show, keyboardist Nick Rhodes said: “We are devilishly delighted to announce that we are bringing our annual Halloween extravaganza to the UK for the first time. It will be a unique, themed show unlike any of our other performances, overflowing with shocks and surprises — so even we do not know what may happen on the night…

“We invite you to dress for the occasion and Danse Macabre with us at Co-op Live in Manchester on October 31st.”

Frontman and lead vocalist Simon Le Bon, added: “I’m so excited to be coming to Manchester for this special Halloween concert. In fact, I’m thrilled — and, frankly, a little terrified!”

Presale tickets for Duran Duran’s Halloween show at Co-op Live go on sale Wed 25 Jun. General sale will follow on Fri 27 Jun.
