Legendary British band Duran Duran will take the stage at Powderham Castle on Thursday, July 3, 2025, for an exciting night of live music.

This highly anticipated performance is one of only two UK headline shows for the band next year, making it a truly unmissable event.

The multi-award-winning group, celebrated for their timeless hits, will headline Powderham Presents, a brand-new music festival bringing world-class acts to the heart of Devon.

Joining them are Nile Rodgers & CHIC, the disco legends behind chart-topping anthems like Le Freak and Good Times.

Nile Rodgers also worked with Duran Duran on their UK number-one hit, The Reflex.

With space for up to 25,000 people each day, Powderham Presents will be a huge summer event.

Speaking about the event, Live Nation promoter Oliver Mason, who lives locally, said: "To bring a stadium-filling, iconic band like Duran Duran, with such massive hits, to Devon is incredibly exciting. Adding Nile Rodgers & CHIC to the lineup makes this an extraordinary night not to be missed. This event will bring a fantastic buzz to Exeter and be a huge boost for the local economy. I can’t wait!"

Duran Duran has been making music for over 40 years and is known for classics like Hungry Like the Wolf, Ordinary World, and Rio. They’ve won major awards, including two GRAMMYs, two BRIT Awards, and an Ivor Novello for their contribution to British music.

Nile Rodgers, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member, is one of music’s biggest names. After winning a Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY in 2023, he continues to produce for stars like Beyoncé, Madonna, and Daft Punk.

The festival is organised by Live Nation’s Cuffe and Taylor, known for hosting amazing events in unique locations.

Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.
