Duran Duran have announced that they will perform a one-off gig at London’s Hyde Park in July 2021.

The band had been scheduled to perform as part of the BST Hyde Park line-up earlier this year, but the event was cancelled in April due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

However, Duran Duran have now announced that they will be performing on Sunday, 11 July 2021. The gig will be their first in the nation’s capital for six years.

They will be supported by Nile Rodgers, Chic and Grace Jones.

“We are so happy to announce the new date for our return to Hyde Park,” said frontman Simon Le Bon. “This will be our first London show in six years and we are honoured that two of our musical heroes Nile Rodgers and Grace Jones will be joining us on the bill.

“After the year that everyone’s been through, we’re aiming to make next summer into the kind of party we all deserve.”

Got sweaty palms already? Check out our handy tips for dealing with the demand:

1) Make sure you are ready and waiting with the web page up at least five minutes before 10am.

2) Do not let your computer, phone or whatever device holds the key to your happiness run out of battery.

3) Register your details with the website you are booking from in advance, if you can, but don’t panic if you haven’t left enough time as your tickets will be held while you fill out your information.

4) Check how many tickets you are allowed to buy in one purchase. If you try to buy more than the limited number, your booking may be cancelled without notice, meaning no-one gets to go.

5) Get your friends to try too, but stay in contact in case you all succeed and end up with a bunch of tickets you didn’t want. If you do need to sell any on, do so at face value. No-one likes a tout.

6) Be patient and avoid refreshing or switching between browsers. Stick with one tab and have some faith! Be prepared to wait for an hour to get tickets.
