Duran Duran’s return to London’s BST Hyde Park just got even bigger, with organisers unveiling the full supporting line-up for the iconic British band’s headline performance on Sunday 5th July 2026.
Duran Duran @ The O2
Already set to be one of the summer’s most anticipated live events, the show will see Duran Duran joined by a diverse and impressive bill including legendary disco-funk pioneers Nile Rodgers & CHIC, electronic music heavyweights Groove Armada delivering a DJ Set, rising electro-pop artist SOPHIE GREY., London sister duo SISTRA, producer and vocalist Harrison, multidisciplinary artist Wendy Bevan and South Yorkshire songwriter Sam Scherdel. Previously announced special guests Scissor Sisters will also appear on the bill.
For Duran Duran, the Hyde Park headline date marks another milestone in a career spanning more than four decades. Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, achieved 21 UK Top 20 singles and 18 American hit singles, the Birmingham-formed icons remain one of Britain’s most enduring and influential musical exports. Their legacy has been recognised with multiple honours including two GRAMMY® Awards, two BRIT Awards, two Ivor Novello Awards and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The band’s momentum shows no sign of slowing. Following the success of their acclaimed 2023 album Danse Macabre, which became their tenth UK Top 5 album, Duran Duran have continued to fill arenas across the UK, Europe and North America. Earlier this year they unveiled their latest single Free To Love, a euphoric cyber-funk anthem co-written with longtime collaborator Nile Rodgers, who now joins them at Hyde Park for what promises to be one of the festival’s standout performances.
Rodgers’ history with Duran Duran stretches back to the 1980s, helping shape some of the band’s most celebrated work. As the co-founder of CHIC and producer behind classics from David Bowie, Madonna, Diana Ross and Daft Punk, his Hyde Park appearance adds another layer of musical pedigree to an already remarkable line-up.

Electronic music fans will be equally excited by the addition of Groove Armada. The duo of Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have spent more than three decades defining UK dance music through seminal releases including Vertigo, Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) and Lovebox. Their DJ set is expected to bring a festival atmosphere long before Duran Duran take the stage.
One of the most intriguing additions to the bill is SOPHIE GREY., the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who has been steadily carving out her own niche in the modern electronic-pop landscape. Instantly recognisable thanks to her signature synth-axe performances, SOPHIE GREY. has built a reputation as a true independent artist, writing, arranging, performing and producing her own material while blending retro synth textures with contemporary pop sensibilities.

Classically trained as a pianist at Los Angeles’ prestigious Colburn School, she later developed her production and engineering skills at the renowned Village Studios, helping shape a sound that fuses musicianship with cutting-edge electronic production. Her latest album, Retro Electro, showcases her ability to seamlessly combine shimmering melodies, infectious hooks and cinematic electronic soundscapes, with every track written and produced by the artist herself.
Beyond her solo work, SOPHIE GREY. has become an in-demand live musician and collaborator, touring internationally and sharing stages with artists including Sting, Shaggy and Alison Moyet. She has also appeared on US television, performing alongside Shaggy on Good Morning America. With her growing profile across North America and Europe and a live show built around energetic musicianship and immersive electronic performance, her BST Hyde Park appearance could prove to be one of the day’s breakout moments.

Among the other newer names on the bill, SISTRA arrive fresh from the release of their debut album She Won’t Let Go, while viral sensation Harrison brings one of the year’s biggest crossover electronic hits. Wendy Bevan’s cinematic and atmospheric work provides a fascinating artistic counterpoint to the day’s more dance-oriented performances.
Completing the line-up is Sam Scherdel, whose heartland rock sound and powerful live performances have steadily earned him a growing reputation across the UK touring circuit.
The event also marks another major live appearance for Scissor Sisters, whose reunion has been one of the most celebrated comeback stories of recent years. Their catalogue of glam-pop anthems including Take Your Mama, I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ and Let’s Have A Kiki should provide the perfect warm-up before Duran Duran close out the evening.
