Duran Duran have announced a run of Australian 2012 tour dates during March. It’s been 3 years since the band last toured Australia for the V festival.
Duran Duran will be touring with their original line-up of Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, and Nick Rhodes.
In a recent interview bass player John Taylor explained that the band won’t be partying as hard as they used to:
We are coming down to Australia and it’s our responsibility to make these shows the best they can possibly be.
We may not get another crack at it and I want people to come out of these shows thinking ‘wow, they are better than ever’.
And for that to happen, at the very least you have to get a good night’s sleep the night before and take it seriously.
We had a good run at the party thing in our early 20s, but nobody is yearning for it any more, I can tell you that.
Duran Duran are also expected to be announced on the Future Music 2012 line-up tomorrow.
