After the seminal performance of Massive Attack, the back-to-back of Release Athens 2024 was completed with a larger-than-life performance by a larger-than-life band.<\/p>\n

But let’s start at the beginning. Well-known DJ, radio producer and Duran Duran super-fan Spyros Pagiatakis was responsible for the warm-up DJ set that focused on the 80s (e.g. Human League – Being Boiled) or songs influenced by the same decade (e.g. Boy Harsher – Machina). Irish singer-songwriter JC Stewart followed immediately after, making his first appearance in Greece, and we are sure we\u2019re going to hear from him again in the future.<\/p>\n

Shortly after 10pm it was time for the pop super stars, the legendary Duran Duran. With a packed venue in front of them, the legendary Brits, with the confidence that only a great band can have, put on a stellar show with a setlist that spanned their entire discography and the various phases of their career: from the more contemporary \u201cInvisible\u201d and \u201cBlack Moonlight\u201d, through fan favourites \u201cChaffeur\u201d and \u201cNew Moon On Monday\u201d, to their first self-titled album, which took the lion’s share of the night. Nick Rhodes, John and Roger Taylor and a very upbeat Simon Le Bon confirmed that this is a band that will continue to sweep the stage and gave us a show full of highlights: the superb rendition of \u201cFriends Of Mine\u201d, the timeless \u201cA View To A Kill\u201d, the wonderful mix of \u201cGirls On Film\u201d with Talking Heads’ \u201cPsycho Killer\u201d and of course the mind-blowing encore with the singalong to \u201cSave A Prayer\u201d and the finale with \u201cRio\u201d.<\/p>\n
