On Monday, August 22, 2022, the renowned British new wave group Duran Duran played a sold-out show at Budweiser Stage. Legendary disco/funk artist Nile Rodgers was the opening act.
After some delays due to lightning strikes, Nile Rodgers took the stage with a brightening performance composed of Chic originals as well as compositions Rodgers wrote for other artists (Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” and Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out.”)
After all the weather-related setbacks, Duran Duran finally burst through the misty stage lights, and the rip-roaring set which followed was one well worth waiting for. The band is touring with their Future Past album and celebrating their 40th anniversary. More tour dates from Duran Duran here.
