Duran Duran

The Italian summer prepares to welcome one of the most iconic and influential bands in music history: Duran Duran announce three event-concerts in Italy, set in some of the country’s most evocative and prestigious locations. These unique evenings will see the energy and charisma of a legendary band meet settings of incomparable beauty: July 7th at the Arena di Verona, July 9th at the Reggia di Caserta, and Saturday, July 11th at Villa Manin in Codroipo (UD).

The latter—promoted by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region as part of the “GoToPordenone&Friends” program—will also serve as the exclusive date for Austrian, Slovenian, and Croatian fans, representing a truly special occasion for the entire Alpe-Adria region.

Tickets for the concert—organized in collaboration with VignaPR, FVG Music Live, and ERPAC FVG—are available online at Eilo.it, Ticketone.it, and through the international Eventim circuit (Eventim.si, Eventim.hr, OeTicket.com).

Statement from Governor Massimiliano Fedriga

“It is a source of great pride for the Region,” states the President of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Massimiliano Fedriga, “to welcome one of the most iconic bands in international music history. Duran Duran’s choice of Villa Manin for a stage of their Italian tour, within the ‘GoToPordenone&Friends’ festival, brings a performance of the highest artistic and symbolic profile to our territory.

We are talking about a group that has crossed generations and borders, leaving an indelible mark on global pop culture while remaining a benchmark on the global stage. This event reinforces Friuli Venezia Giulia’s role as a land capable of attracting major cultural and musical productions. Villa Manin confirms its status as an elite venue for international events, blending entertainment, culture, and territorial promotion. Hosting them in Codroipo,” concludes Fedriga, “means offering the public an international-scale event while consolidating our region’s image as a cultural and tourist destination capable of competing in the major live event circuits.”

Legendary Icons of Pop and Rock

Absolute protagonists of the international scene from the 1980s to today, Duran Duran have redefined the language of pop and rock, influencing generations of artists and winning over millions of fans worldwide. With over 100 million records sold and a career spanning more than four decades, the band—featuring original members Simon Le Bon (vocals), John Taylor (bass), Nick Rhodes (keyboards), and Roger Taylor (drums)—continues to embody innovation, elegance, and extraordinary live power.

Their repertoire has defined entire generations. Tracks like “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Ordinary World,” “The Reflex,” and “Come Undone” have become authentic global anthems, crossing eras and styles while keeping their strength intact.

The 2026 Summer Events

The three Italian dates, produced by D’Alessandro e Galli, promise to be unmissable events: evenings where the band’s stage presence and musical intensity will merge with the extraordinary atmosphere of Italy’s cultural heritage symbols. The Arena di Verona, the Reggia di Caserta, and Villa Manin will offer an exclusive backdrop for a show designed to celebrate a timeless career. This is a rare opportunity to witness one of the most beloved groups of all time in contexts of absolute prestige: three concerts destined to be among the most anticipated highlights of the 2026 musical summer.
