The members of Duran Duran – Simon Le Bon (vocals), Nick Rhodes (keyboards), John Taylor (guitar), Roger Taylor (guitar). The group has been consistently successful since its inception in 1978.
The group’s success in the UK market led to its immense popularity in the United States. The band’s «sophisticated» blend of pop elements, electronic music, rock, and its «striking visual presentation» has earned it a place among the biggest and most influential rock bands.
The «Free to Love» single is another milestone in the band’s long and successful musical path.
The Free To Love Tour Brings Classic Hits and New Music
Though the majority of the audience will most likely attend the concert to see and hear Duran Duran’s greatest hits, the band has been actively recording and releasing new material for the past few years. Thus, the Madrid show will feature the group’s all-time favorites alongside the recent single, «Free To Love».
In April 2026, the group unveiled the «Free to Love» single, a vibrant collaboration with Nile Rodgers. The «Free to Love» single is another great addition to the band’s catalog of wonderful songs.
The new single provides the current tour with a meaningful sense of direction. Rather than rehashing the old material, Duran Duran is celebrating its legacy while exploring the new paths of the music industry.
