Duran Duran are representing England at the Olympics (sort of)

  • May 1, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Duran Duran will represent England at what The Sun are calling "the BT London Live Olympic opening ceremony cel­eb­ra­tion concert" (blimey) in London's Hyde Park.

The 'gig' will take place on July 27 and will also feature fidgeting mumbler Paolo Nutini (rep­res­ent­ing Scotland), dadrock borelords Stereophonics (rep­res­ent­ing Wales) and Leona Lewis' song­writers Snow Patrol (who will be competing for Northern Ireland).

If you think you'd like to go then tickets are on sale from 9am on May 4.

There's more inform­a­tion about it all here.
