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.
