[glow=red,2,300]45 DATE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR OPENS TO FRENZIED FANS AND “APLOMB”[/glow]
Clear Static, Ima Robot, VHS or Beta and Juliet Confirmed as Tour Openers with More Bands to be Announced
New York, NY-- The five original members of Duran Duran kicked off their 45-date North American tour at South Florida's Office Depot Center on Friday, February 11th. Ecstatic fans of all ages were treated to an electric 24-song set list spanning over two decades of hits. Opening the show with the "tuneful" (South Florida Sun Sentinel) "Sunrise," the band played an exhilarating mix of songs from their new album Astronaut(October 12th, Epic) and old hits. The sold-out crowd danced, sang, and
screamed along with the band to several new tracks including "What Happens Tomorrow, " "Nice," and "Bedroom Toys" as well as classics "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Save a Prayer," and "The Reflex." (See full set list below.)
Several up-and-coming bands are supporting Duran Duran on their North American tour including Clear Static (February 11th- 20th), Ima Robot(February 25th - March 16th with the exception of Las Vegas on March 13 & 14), VHS or Beta (March 20th - March 29th) and Juliet (March 30th - April
13th).
In other Duran Duran news, the band will be placing a celebrity signed soccer ball up for bid on eBay (www.ebay.com/duranduran) from March 7th -17th with net proceeds going to Global Giving's Tsunami relief efforts. Band members, all of whom have signed the ball, have been collecting signatures from stars in the entertainment world since last year's MTV Europe Awards in Rome including Cate Blanchett, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani, Robert Smith (The Cure), Black Eyed Peas, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne, Naomi Campbell, Andre 3000 (Outkast) and many others. (Kompolt Online Auction Agency is coordinating the charity auction.)
