On Thursday night, Duran Duran played the first of only three U.S. concerts scheduled so far this year, joining an unlikely combo of Kid Rock and Jason Derulo at the NFL Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam in Grand Prairie, Texas. See video here.
Duran Duran today announced that they’ll follow their just-announced appearance at California’s Coachella festival with an 11-date U.K. arena tour in May and early June — a trek the band’s billing as ‘the start of a world tour that will last well into 2012.’
