Music Giants XII - Duran Duran

Few bands have defined the sound and style of an era quite like Duran Duran. As pioneers of the New Romantic movement and one of the most influential groups of the 1980s, their blend of innovative pop, striking visual identity, and boundary-pushing music videos helped rewrite the rules of global stardom.

This special stamp issue celebrates Duran Duran's four decades of creativity, charting their journey from the vibrant club scene of Birmingham to international acclaim, with 2026 marking 45 years since the release of their debut album 'Duran Duran'.

The stamp issue coincides with the start of the band's UK and European Tour in Autumn 2026.
