Fresh off of last year's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, new wave greats Duran Duran have announced a 2023 North American tour, and the trek includes the band's first concert in Nashville in seven years.

Duran Duran's "Future Past" tour — named for their 2021 album — will stop at Bridgestone Arena on June 13.

Ticket presales will be offered to the band's "VIP Community" fan club, Citi cardmembers and more from February 13-15. General on-sale begins at 10 a.m. Thursday, February 16.

The band will be joined for the entire tour by British pop/rock group Bastille (known for their 2010s hits "Pompeii" and "Happier") and disco/funk mastermind Nile Rodgers, who fronts a modern version of his legendary band, Chic.

Duran Duran last performed in Nashville in 2016, when their "Paper Gods" tour brought them to Ascend Amphitheater, following two previous appearances at the city's former Starwood Amphitheater. The Bridgestone stop looks to be the biggest Nashville concert of the band's career.
