TOLEDO — If you grew up taping the “Hungry Like the Wolf” video off MTV in a Toledo basement, tonight is your night to feel 16 again.

Duran Duran’s Danse Macabre Halloween Party takes over London’s The O2 arena TONIGHT (Saturday, October 31) — doors at 6:30 PM GMT, show ending at 11 PM — closing the band’s 2026 UK arena tour, their first full UK run in three years. The run kicked off October 15 at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro and tore through Belfast, Birmingham, Liverpool and Leeds before this Halloween finale.

The Halloween show is now an annual tradition: born from the band’s legendary 2022 performance at the Wynn Theatre in Las Vegas, which spawned the acclaimed 2023 album Danse Macabre. Sold-out Halloween blowouts followed at Madison Square Garden in New York (2024) and Manchester’s Co-op Live (2025) — and London gets it for the very first time this year.

Tonight’s O2 takeover includes a frightful silent disco on the Up at The O2 rooftop climb (£49 per person, climbs at 4:30, 5:00 and 5:30 PM), chilling cinema screenings, and surprise Halloween performances — and fans are warmly encouraged to dress up. Expect the band’s iconic sound with darker twists, cult classics and rarely played deep cuts.

The creative partnership with Italian luxury perfume house Xerjoff continues, with the Black Moonlight blend — first created for the “Black Moonlight” music video — returning for this year’s festivities.

Duran Duran and The O2 also launched a Halloween treasure hunt with what3words on October 28, with fans solving riddles for front-row tickets, exclusive Danse Macabre vinyl and experiences — and a second interactive “Trick or Treat” challenge launches inside The O2 itself tonight via the band’s Instagram Stories.

It caps a huge year for the band, which released the Nile Rodgers collaboration “Free To Love” earlier this year. Toledo’s ’80s kids can only dream of a night like this — so we’re dressing up our own way and dancing in our living rooms.
