With their ‘Red Carpet Massacre World Tour’ now underway, Duran Duran have announced details of their UK shows starting with The O2, their only London date, on Thursday 3rd July 2008 which will form part of an extensive European summer run.
The Duke Spirit support Duran Duran
THE DUKE SPIRIT will join DURAN DURAN as special guests for their forthcoming show in The O2 arena, replacing THE LONG BLONDES who have now cancelled all of their live appearances for July after guitarist Dorian Cox was taken ill.
THE DUKE SPIRIT are the latest artists to open for DURAN DURAN on their RED CARPET MASSACRE WORLD TOUR, which started in March of this year in New Zealand and has so far taken in Australia, the Far East, Japan and the US.
Influenced by both noise rock and grunge, darkly seductive garage rockers THE DUKE SPIRIT, have already made their mark, garnering comparisons to My Bloody Valentine and The Pixies, with guest spots on a number of high profile tours from Razorlight and Kasabian to Queens of the Stone Age, Mercury Rev and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Formed by singer Liela Moss and guitarist Luke Ford when they were at Cheltenham Art College, The Duke Spirit have rapidly gained a cult following for their live performances. The five-piece London-based outfit are just about to embark upon an extensive festival tour of the US to promote their new single "My Sunken Treasure" taken from their latest album NEPTUNE, which is already gaining critical acclaim for its unique sound, combining bombastic rock ’n’ roll with beautiful tender lullabies.
