The Experience

The Duran Duran Experience have been established as the premier Duran Duran tribute band in the UK since 2012 and have performed at a number of pro venues across the country including the Concord Club (Eastleigh), The Neon (Newport) and The Fleece (Bristol), in addition to full theatre based shows. We are the exclusively selected Duran Duran tribute band since 2015 for appearing at Butlins events across the country moving into our 8th year in 2022, supporting eighties favourites including: ABC, Go West, Kim Wilde, Rick Astley, Tony Hadley and Johnny Hates Jazz. The Duran Duran Experience are also the selected Duran Duran tribute band to perform at Warner Village and Pontins events and have also performed to members of the Le Bon family.

“…Duran frontman Simon Le Bon would probably endorse these guys. Musically, they were bang on the money. Playing to a packed house, they covered all the essential tunes…” – Rob & Nady (Yasmin Le Bon’s sister), owners – Joe’s Restaurant (Oxford)

The Duran Duran Experience were selected as the Duran Duran tribute band to perform at the last UK hosted Duran Duran fan convention, UKDDCON2012 (Birmingham, UK), performing to an event attended by Duran Duran fans from around the world. The Duran Duran Experience also have festival experience, working with festivals such as GlastonBudget, Marvellous and Sun Shine Music Festivals.

Being the leading Duran Duran tribute band in the UK, The Duran Duran Experience pride themselves in being able to offer a total complete package for your individual event. They are able to offer full facilities including professional PA system, professional lighting show and also staging risers – all of which are fully PAT tested and provided by the act. They do not hire in equipment from external sources and as a result are able to provide a fast and efficient breakdown and setup time for performance locations without facilities or to supplement existing venue facilities as required. The Duran Duran Experience offer full public liability insurance via The Musicians’ Union.

Professional musicians incorporating The Duran Duran Experience. We do not cut corners on lineup and our level of professionalism. Each member of The Duran Duran Experience is an experienced pro level musician with years of session, studio and live performance behind them. Other acts may say they offer a Duran Duran Experience...but we are THE Duran Duran Experience.

Offering a set of Duran Duran numbers ranging from their debut 1981 album, right through to their most recent 2021 album, Future Past. Unlike other tributes, our full audio is not only authentically arranged and performed, but is optimised and professionally mixed for pro venues and stages.

We offer a full Duran Duran tribute band show as standard - not a show supplemented by tracks from other artists. We can offer a support slot by the 80's cover band, Notorious Eighties upon request. However, what you get, is what you booked and expect - a full set(s) of Duran Duran material by the leading Duran Duran tribute band.

All equipment is provided by The Duran Duran Experience – we do not hire in or provide equipment inappropriate to the requirements of the event venue. You can be sure that our equipment will be up to the job, regardless of the size of your venue.

“…The Duran Duran Experience were the icing on the top of the cake for the 2012 UK fan convention in Birmingham. Our guests from all four corners of the globe danced their shoes off and sang their hearts out of their chests. The band delivered a diverse set list of fan favourites, both classic and current hits through two fabulous sets. The Duran Duran Experience’s attention to detail ensures their sound is authentic and most of all infectious to listen to. 5 stars all round!…” – Dave Stott, Organiser: UKDDCON2012
