Brit pop band Duran Duran heading to Dubai

The prettiest boys in rock are heading to the UAE.

Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Simon Le Bon, otherwise known as Duran Duran, bring their All You Need is Now world tour to Dubai on March 8.

In support of their 13th studio album, which has the same name as the tour, the boys will play to an expected crowd of more than 50,000 at 7he Sevens Stadium on the Al Ain road, on the outskirts of the city.

As well as material from their critically-acclaimed new album, produced by Grammy Award-winner Mark Ronson, the group will also perform favourites from the '80s and '90s.

Formed in Birmingham back in 1978, Duran Duran are considered one of the most successful bands of the 1980s with 14 top 10 UK singles and 21 in the Billboard Hot 100.

Famous for experimenting with technology throughout their musical career, the band, who have never officially disbanded although the line-up has changed a number of times, are playing to sell-out crowds on their current tour.

Tickets will go on sale on January 8 at 9am. For pre-sale information, visit durandurandubai.com.
