Lost in the music

The Paper Gods Tour With Duran Duran


The last time I saw Duran Duran on tour was in 2005, when the band reformed with all five members for their Astronaut tour. I remember it so well, going with a bunch of girlfriends who were also lifelong Duranies and all of us screaming our heads off after every song. My favourite has and always will be Roger Taylor – which made the concert extra special, as this was the tour where he rejoined the band.

This time around, I went with Sean, who’s also a big Duran Duran fan. And this time, thanks to my brother’s friend, we’d be watching the concert from one of the suites! Fancy!

I still screamed my head off like a teenage girl. Plus all the amazing visuals. No surprise, as Duran Duran has always been a visual band.
