Legendary '80s Rock Band Praised for Rare Appearance at Cannes
Iconic British band Duran Duran made a stunning return to the spotlight with a rare performance at the amfAR Gala during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on Thursday, May 22.
The annual star-studded benefit, known for merging Hollywood glamour with philanthropy in the fight against AIDS, received a dose of musical nostalgia as the "Hungry Like the Wolf" artists took the stage as headliners after last performing at the amfAR Gala in the event, the group of four—comprised of John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes, and Simon Le Bon—stylishly coordinated in black, white, and cream-colored ensembles, while Rhodes chose a standout pale pink satin suit.
The musical act was praised by the organization for their presence and continuous support. 'We are so excited to have the iconic Duran Duran back with us at amfAR Gala Cannes and we are grateful for their longstanding support of our work,' Kevin Robert Frost, chief executive officer of amfAR, said, per WWD.
This summer, the band is set to head out on a special run of shows, hitting Finland, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Ireland and more. The tour kicks off on June 3 and continues through July 9, 2025, according to their website.
