New wave legends Duran Duran brought their signature style and a catalogue of timeless hits to the Lollapalooza Brazil stage in 2017. Delivering one of the standout performances of the festival at São Paulo's Autódromo de Interlagos, the band demonstrated exactly why their music has captivated audiences for decades. Frontman Simon Le Bon, a master of stage presence, commanded the massive crowd from the very first notes of the opener, "The Wild Boys."
The setlist was a perfectly balanced journey through their career, blending iconic anthems like "Hungry Like the Wolf," "A View to a Kill," and "Rio" with newer material such as "Last Night in the City" from their 2015 album "Paper Gods." A particularly beautiful moment came when the band invited Brazilian singer Céu to the stage for a stunning duet on "Ordinary World." The show was a full-scale production, complete with confetti showers during "Pressure Off" and beach balls bouncing over the audience for the grand finale of "Rio." This performance was a vibrant, energetic celebration of a band that continues to be a formidable live act.
