From Gold to Rio - The Greatest Hits of Spandau Ballet & Duran Duran

From Gold to Rio comes to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Saturday 23 January 2027, bringing together the hits of Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran in one show. It's a night dedicated to the New Romantic era, the sound that ruled the charts for more than a decade, and the set runs for about two hours.

There's a lot to get through in that time. The show works its way through more than 20 Top 10 hits from both bands, with Gold, Rio, True, The Reflex, Through the Barricades, Save a Prayer, Lifeline and Girls on Film among them. It's a fair bit of ground to cover, and the set draws from both the early singles and the later records.

An eight-piece live band backs the whole thing, with two singers taking the lead. Chris Clark portrays Simon Le Bon, and Lee James takes on Tony Hadley. James is regarded as one of the most authentic Hadley performers in the UK and Europe, and he's performed alongside the man himself, earning praise from Gary and Martin Kemp along the way.

Tickets are £30, and the show starts at 7:30pm. If you're coming from out of town or just fancy a proper night of it, pre-show meals are served in the Piano Bar from 5pm, so you can eat before you head into the auditorium. The venue is Weymouth Pavilion, The Esplanade, Weymouth DT4 8ED.
