Duran Duran at Latitude 2024: weather forecast, set times and will they play “Ordinary World?”

• Duran Duran are set to close this year’s Latitude Festival on Sunday (July 28 2024)
• The beloved pop group make their only UK appearance for the rest of 2024 before touring internationally.
• But will they be playing hits such as “Rio,” “Wild Boys” and “Ordinary World” during their headline performance?

Good morning Latitude Festival 2024 attendees - are you looking forward to London Grammar this evening, or holding out for Sunday’s headliners, Duran Duran?

The beloved ‘80s pop group are set to close this year’s festivities at Henham Park, once again demonstrating the eclectic nature of the festival and its appeal to newer music audiences and those of us who enjoy a touch of nostalgia - myself included.

What could be more nostalgic at Simon Le Bon and company swaggering on stage though? Considered one of the leading lights of the New Wave and synth-pop movements in the ‘80s, many will tell you tales of how they stormed onto the scene with the provocative “Girls On Film,” and their smash hit album “Rio” with the title track becoming one of their many signature songs.

But come the advent of MTV, the band released the music video for “The Wild Boys,” considered one of the most epic music videos of its time and borrowed from the “Mad Max” craze at the time - somewhat.

However, the group’s influence on the music industry can be felt outside of the New Wave movement; countless artists have covered or sampled the group. Be it Fenix TX covering “Ordinary World” or The Notorious B.I.G sampling “Notorious” for his single “Notorious B.I.G,” it demonstrates the knack the band has had for creating enduring, timeless melodies.

But will they be performing some of those big hits this weekend at Latitude 2024?

What could Duran Duran perform at Latitude Festival 2024?

I joke about Duran Duran playing “Ordinary World,” but it looks like one of their most consistently performed songs when they play live. 

Setlist.FM confirmed that fact, with its data showing the song is their fifth most performed song throughout their live history. The first? Not “Rio,” but “Hungry Like the Wolf” instead. 

All of which they performed at their last festival appearance at the Monte-Carlo Summer Festival in Monaco earlier this month; could their performance at Latitude 2024 be of a similar ilk? 

• Night Boat
• The Wild Boys
• Hungry Like the Wolf
• Notorious
• Lonely in Your Nightmare / Super Freak (AKA SUPER LONELY FREAK)
• Come Undone
• Ordinary World
• New Moon on Monday
• Planet Earth
• (Reach Up for the) Sunrise
• White Lines (Don't Don't Do It) (Grandmaster Melle Mel cover)
• The Reflex
• Girls on Film / Psycho Killer

Encore:

• Save a Prayer
