British music icons Duran Duran are summoning all Halloween enthusiasts to show up, dress up, and celebrate All Hallows’ Eve in style at Manchester’s Co-Op Live on Friday, October 31 2025.
Fans can expect a one-night-only exclusive Halloween set filled with the essential hits, alongside rarely-played songs from the Duran Duran crypt. Now a highly anticipated annual tradition, The Danse Macabre Halloween Party was originally conceptualised at a fabled October 31st gig for the ages in 2022 at the Wynn Theatre, Las Vegas. Now that special night is immortalised across 13 songs on the band’s 16th studio album, Danse Macabre – a spectacular record threading together new music, themed covers, and darkly reimagined versions of Duran Duran’s classic songs.
Speaking ahead of the show, keyboardist Nick Rhodes said: “We are devilishly delighted to announce that we are bringing our annual Halloween extravaganza to the UK for the first time.
It will be a unique, themed show unlike any of our other performances, overflowing with shocks and surprises — so even we do not know what may happen on the night…
We invite you to dress for the occasion and Danse Macabre with us at Co-op Live in Manchester on October 31st.”
Frontman and lead vocalist Simon Le Bon added: “I’m so excited to be coming to Manchester for this special Halloween concert. In fact, I’m thrilled — and, frankly, a little terrified!”
The unique Co-Op Live show will mark the band’s first UK Halloween party, after a stunning sold out Madison Square Garden performance in 2024. Forbes Magazine described the night as “a mix of chills, glamour and fun that only this band could deliver”, whilst Brooklyn Vegan tipped the show, “a total blast”.
The Artist VIP Presale for Duran Duran’s Halloween show at the Co-Op Live begins Wednesday 25 June at 8:00 AM BST. The O2 and Venue’s presale starts on Wednesday 25 June at 10am BST. Public on-sale begins Friday 27 June at 10:00 AM BST. For more information please visit: https://duranduran.com/tour/.
