Duran Duran is a British band that emerged as a key part of the new wave movement in the early 1980s, recognized for their blend of music that merged punk rock sensibilities with danceable synth-pop.

Through the years, the band's lineup has evolved, with Simon Le Bon stepping in as the charismatic frontman and lead vocalist.
