Duran Duran closed the second weekend of BST Hyde Park on a disco bill with Scissor Sisters, Nile Rodgers & CHIC and Groove Armada.
Duran Duran, the Birmingham band behind “Girls on Film” and “Rio”, headlined BST Hyde Park on Sunday 5 July 2026. Scissor Sisters and Nile Rodgers & CHIC shared the bill.
Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Stephen Duffy formed the band in 1978. The line-up settled in 1980 with Simon Le Bon, Andy Taylor and Roger Taylor.
They rose with the New Romantic scene and led the MTV-driven second British Invasion of the United States. Seven and the Ragged Tiger became their only UK number one album, and “A View to a Kill”, the 1985 James Bond theme, topped the US chart.
A year earlier they had joined Sabrina Carpenter on the same stage for “Hungry Like the Wolf”. This time the festival built the Sunday around them as a day of disco, and it closed the second weekend.
Scissor Sisters and Nile Rodgers & CHIC played before the headliners, and Groove Armada played a DJ set.
