Duran Duran Announce Four Intimate Rehearsal Shows for UK Fans

LONDON, August 24, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

Limited Tickets Available Thursday 25th August @ 9am

Pop icons DURAN DURAN have announced that they will open up four of
their pre-tour rehearsals to fans at intimate UK venues, in advance of their
upcoming US September dates and the rescheduled British arena performances
that kick-off from November.

DURAN DURAN, who were forced to cancel tour dates after lead singer
Simon Le Bon developed vocal problems in May, have turned what will be
rehearsals for their American tour, into fan warm-up shows.

Due to overwhelming demand, promoters have increased capacities at the
venues and limited tickets have been made available to the general public
from Thursday 25th August at 9am as follows;

Thurs 1st September, The Bournemouth Old Fire Station, Bournemouth

Thurs 8th September, The Cambridge Junction, Cambridge

Fri 9th September, Bristol Trinity, Bristol

Sat 10th September, The O2 Academy, Oxford

Simon Le Bon is now back in full voice, after rigorous treatment to
rehabilitate muscles controlling his vocal chords. The shows will be the
first time the band have invited fans into open rehearsals with no
production in a very intimate space. DURAN DURAN will then fly to America
for the "ALL YOU NEED IS NOW" World Tour in September. The band return to
the UK for twelve arena concerts, starting 30th November at The Brighton
Centre, Brighton.

Le Bon said,

"I am absolutely thrilled to be getting back on the road and touring
again after my recent vocal injury. It's been an incredibly tough time and
extremely frustrating, but after receiving treatment I have made gradual
improvements each week in recovering the upper part of my range. I am truly
grateful for the incredible support of our fans, the many well wishes and
their patience in what has been a difficult time for us all as a band.
Inviting the fans into rehearsals before we start our American tour seemed
like the perfect opportunity. We are all really excited at the prospect of
coming back to the UK in November, we have an incredible production that
we've been working on for this tour - and the new songs are sounding great."
