Duran Duran to headline UK festival Lovebox Weekender in July

THE LOVEBOX WEEKENDER: 2009 HEADLINERS CONFIRMED
DURAN DURAN
N.E.R.D featuring PHARRELL WILLIAMS
GROOVE ARMADA
FRIENDLY FIRES, FLORENCE & THE MACHINE, SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO
LADYHAWKE, FAT FREDDYS DROP + MANY MORE

London's favourite festival - The LOVEBOX Weekender has announced that pop legends Duran Duran and hip hop collective N.E.R.D featuring Pharrell Williams will be joining festival founders Groove Armada as headline acts for the 2009 festival which will take place across the weekend of Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th July at London's Victoria Park.

Headlining one of the festival's most eclectic and adventurous line ups to date, Duran Duran will be playing their only UK festival gig of 2009 on the Saturday night supported by rock/rap crossover collective N.E.R.D featuring Pharrell Williams. LOVEBOX will also be showcasing the very best in new and emerging talent with the hotly tipped Florence & The Machine, joining Friendly Fires and Fat Freddys Drop also confirmed for the Saturday night bill.

Sunday night will be headlined by Lovebox founders and sure-fire party starters Groove Armada who will be premiering a brand new live show featuring material from their forthcoming album that promises to set Victoria Park alight, and will be their only 2009 festival appearance. The band will be joined by Simian Mobile Disco and further acts to be confirmed shortly.

Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran said: "We are thrilled to be headlining Saturday night at LOVEBOX for what will be our only UK show this year. The band are big fans of the festival and we were delighted to be asked by Tom and Andy (Groove Armada) to take part. We were on the road for the whole of 2008 and are now back in the studio working on new music. Playing at LOVEBOX in the summer will be a real highlight for us."

Andy Cato and Tom Findlay, the dance gurus behind Groove Armada and LOVEBOX said: "We bumped into Simon Le Bon when playing some tunes at a beach party in Ibiza last year. He had Sienna Miller on one side and a naked fire eater on the other. We had a chat and mentioned that if he fancied playing at LOVEBOX, it would be an absolute pleasure. And now it's official - the biggest London gig of the summer is on. LOVEBOX bring legends to your local park."

In addition to the stellar musical line up, London's most electric and eclectic show-stopping festival has expanded for 2009 with an even bigger 40 acre site that will once again be bursting at the seams with the best new acts, performers, stage sets and special effects from all over the world for what promises to be a carnival of anarchic entertainment.

This year's festival will witness the debut of Container Arcadia - this year's principal soundsystem. This eerie labyrinth of sky-high shipping containers promises to create a monolithic, fire-breathing dockyard featuring LOVEBOX's usual top-notch selection of DJs and electronic music acts such as the mighty Horse Meat Disco and Secretsundaze.

Further features include the Gaymers Stage – featuring London's largest purpose-built tree house for those wanting a bird's eye view of the festival. The stage will play host to a selection of live performances in an intimate setting. For those in need of a spot of outdoor pampering, LOVEBOX will again boast the largest farmer's market of any UK festival - the very best of Borough's stalwarts all wrapped up within thelondonpaper Sourced Market. A new addition for 2009 is Heavenly Healing, a fully comprehensive tented village of massage and complimentary therapies to kick off your weekend in style.

LOVEBOX have also expanded their family stage this year into an entire field of family-friendly stage shows, sideshows and freak shows - all inspired, programmed and produced by some of London's most thrilling theatre and production outfits. From barn-storming hoedowns to gypsy steam punk, take off your shoes and lose yourself in a wonderland of weirdness as LOVEBOX presents this year's dose of carnival chaos in an epic spectacle charged with musical excess and theatrical abundance.

"The Lovebox Weekender has become not just one of the most authentic festivals of the summer, but an annual love letter to the capital" – The Guardian

Duran Duran and Mark Ronson record live version of "A View to a Kill" for War Child "Heroes"
Category: Music
DURAN DURAN AND MARK RONSON RECORD STUNNING LIVE VERSION OF "A VIEW TO A KILL" TOGETHER RELEASED EXCLUSIVELY FOR WAR CHILD "HEROES"

Duran Duran have joined music's finest artists in support of the War Child "Heroes" CD by giving the compilation an exclusive live performance of their classic Bond theme, "A View to A Kill," as a bonus track on the album. The version the band have chosen is a collaboration with DJ and Producer Mark Ronson, who arranged and performed the song with Duran Duran during a recent one-off performance at the historic La Cigale theatre in Paris, marking the first time Ronson and the band have played together.

The live arrangement combines not only "A View to A Kill" but also a unique instrumental medley of other classic Bond songs: "Diamonds Are Forever," "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice." This rare recording is available as a bonus track when purchasing the European release of the War Child "Heroes" CD by following download instructions on the album cover or visiting http://www.warchild.org.uk/bonus.

Duran Duran's "A View to A Kill" received acclaim as the only Bond theme song to reach Number 1 in music charts around the world and joins other classic tracks for the "Heroes" compilation, including Elbow's new take on U2's "Running to Stand Still" and Brit award winner Duffy's version of Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die." For full track listing, and further information about "Heroes," please visit http://www.warchild.org.uk/heroes.

Following the "Heroes" concept of "the ultimate covers album" bringing together music's greatest legends and today's best artists, Duran Duran and Mark Ronson were delighted to lend their support. Frontman Simon Le Bon described Ronson as "one of the biggest talents to have emerged in years" and Ronson has said that Duran Duran "were the only band I ever idolised."

The War Child "Heroes" album is released on Parlophone, who are donating all their profits to War Child's work. War Child is an international charity working to protect and rebuild the lives of the most marginalised children in war zones, who would otherwise be overlooked.

Дюран Дюран вместе с Марком Ронсоном запишут ошеломляющую живую версию песни "A View To A Kill" эксклюзивно для диска War Child "Heroes"

Duran Duran back in the studio
Category: Music

Duran Duran, entering the studio for their 13th album, have recently teamed up with Producer Mark Ronson. As visitors to Duranduran.com know, the band first worked with Ronson last summer as part of the Smirnoff Experience Duran Duran & Mark Ronson. La Cigale in Paris played host to the third global Smirnoff Experience event, which featured re-workings of Duran Duran classics to a 1,200-capacity standing-room-only crowd.

For over two decades, Duran Duran have given listeners a catalogue of new music that is both innovative and influential. Working with Ronson is a natural next step for the band, who continue to challenge themselves with each new phase of their career.

Special releases from EMI - September 7/8

DURAN DURAN - 2-CD & Special Edition release of ‘Rio’ - LP & 12” Vinyl Special Edition of ‘Rio’- Previously Unreleased concert DVD/CD, ‘Live At Hammersmith 82!’

Release date: 7th/8th Sept 2009

EMI is proud to announce the release of a 2-CD and Vinyl Special Edition of Duran Duran’s classic 1982 album, ‘Rio’, and a previously-unreleased live DVD/CD concert, ‘Live At Hammersmith ‘82!’

‘Rio’ was Duran Duran’s second album and is as representative of the 1980s as it gets, at its best. A fusion of style and substance ensures that even two decades after its release it remains as listenable and danceable as ever. Through the sheer quality of its singles – Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf, Save A Prayer – and their accompanying, ground-breaking videos - which were heavily rotated on MTV - ‘Rio’ saw the band break the U.S., with the album spending a staggering 129 weeks on the Billboard 200 Chart.

The ‘Rio’ 2 CD Special Edition is made up of the UK release of the album, the original U.S. album remixes (enabling U.S. listeners to programme their CD to be able to listen to the original version), EMI Manchester Square demos, B-Sides, remixes and other surprises (see below for tracklisting).
The digital download version has 2 extra tracks.

The LP & 12” vinyl special edition is the original UK album on LP and the U.S. album remixes on the 12”.

LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH 82! is a much anticipated release among followers of the band. Previously unreleased, it will come as a double DVD and CD pack, allowing fans to both enjoy the visual spectacle of the concert and CD audio, too. Filmed and recorded in the latter part of 1982 as Duranmania was sweeping the UK, the performance at London’s Hammersmith Odeon includes ‘Rio’, ‘Hungry like the Wolf’, ‘Girls on Film’, fan favourite ‘Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)’ and more. The release also includes ‘Rio’ era videos and two previously unreleased ‘Top of the Pops’ performances. The concert is also available as an audio digital download.

Новый плей-лист от двух дюрановских июньских именинников на MySpace:

A June birthday playlist from Nick and John
As you say Happy Birthday to Nick, say hello to a new playlist chosen by the two June birthday men, Nick (today, the 8th) and John (the 20th). This is the first collaborative playlist, so it's an exciting development.

Here are the guys' choices as well as what they had to say about them:

NICK

Starting to Remember – From the "Pop Trash" album, the lyric tells the story of emerging from a bad and remembering the things that make life so good.
Medazzaland – The only Duran Duran song that features ME delivering a vocal...of sorts (spoken word)...
Drive By – Another spoken word song inspired by our song "The Chauffeur." Not quite a cover but nonetheless included on our covers album "Thank You."
Instant Karma – Our contribution to the John Lennon Tribute Album for Amnesty International. What an extraordinary song.
Cry Baby Cry – Never made it on to the worldwide physical release of Red Carpet Massacre, but made it to Japan and available on iTunes. A tale of how iconic becomes ironic.

JOHN

Ball of Confusion – Temptations cover from THANK YOU.
Mark Ronson/Bond medley – Paris. Now on the War Child album.
Late Bar - Why not?
Election Day – Some Arcadia
Do You Believe In Shame – Big Thing...
