They Came From Outer Space
Once Duran Duran is finished taking the new new-wave to Japan in early 2005, the band will bring the Astronaut world tour to North America in February. Forty arena-size dates have been lined up and more are on the way.
The North American leg is set to launch in Puerto Rico on February 8 and wrap up at New York’s Madison Square Garden on April 13.
Duran Duran’s last U.S. jaunt came in the fall of 2003 with the 25th anniversary “78-03” tour, routinely selling out their shows in a matter of minutes. That stint marked the first time the original members had played together since Live Aid in 1985.
The group is supporting Astronaut, their new album on Epic Records.
