Duran Duran have filled out the support bill for their BST Hyde Park show, with Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Groove Armada, SOPHIE GREY., SISTRA, Harrison, Wendy Bevan and Sam Scherdel all set to join the night in London this summer. The band will headline the festival for the second time on Sunday 5 July, with the lineup now giving the concert a much clearer shape.

The announcement lands at a moment when searches around John Taylor Duran Duran are being driven by the band’s live plans, after they unveiled Free To Love with Nile Rodgers as their first new single for 2026 earlier this year. Rodgers, who created Le Freak and Good Times with CHIC and later produced for David Bowie, Madonna, Daft Punk and Duran Duran, brings the biggest name on the bill. Groove Armada also adds weight, the DJ set linking back to the duo’s run from Northern Star in 1998 through Vertigo, Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) and Lovebox in the years that followed.

The newer names give the Hyde Park date a broader edge. SOPHIE GREY., who studied piano performance at the Colburn School in Los Angeles and recently released Retro Electro, sits alongside SISTRA, the London-based sister duo whose debut album She Won’t Let Go arrived in May, plus Harrison, a UK producer, vocalist and DJ whose rework of t.A.T.u.’s All The Things She Said went viral. Wendy Bevan, meanwhile, already has a Duran Duran link of her own after teaming up with Nick Rhodes in 2021 on Astronomia, the four-part, 52-track project.

There is still one small wrinkle in how the bill is being framed: one listing presents Scissor Sisters as the support acts, while the body credits the named artists as joining Scissor Sisters under the Duran Duran umbrella. However it is finally ordered on the day, the message is clear enough for ticket buyers — Hyde Park now has its full supporting cast, and the main event is set for Sunday 5 July.

For Duran Duran, the booking turns a summer date into one of the more loaded live announcements of the season, pairing a second BST Hyde Park headline slot with a roster that mixes old collaborators, electronic veterans and newer artists. What remains to be seen is not who is on the bill, but how the night is actually sequenced when the gates open in London.
