According to rumours circulating among industry insiders, Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor would have received compensation ranging between 50.000 and 60.000 euro for their presence at the musical event. This figure falls perfectly within the range of fees usually reserved for the Festival's major international guests. Much less than Damiano David, then.

Compared to past editions, Duran Duran's compensation is in line with that received by other international celebrities who have graced the stage of Sanremo. Their presence was strategic not only for the prestige of the event, but also to attract a nostalgic and passionate audience for the British band.

A long-awaited return after 40 years

The last appearance of the Duran Duran a Sanremo dates back to 1985, a time when they were at the height of their success and capable of unleashing the enthusiasm of their fans with each of their performances. Their return to the Ariston stage represented a moment of celebration of their career and of their bond with the Italian public.

During the event, the band talked about their love for music and the secret of their artistic longevity, emphasizing the importance of keeping alive the passion for what they do. A bond with the Festival of Sanremo so strong that Nick Rhodes even joked: “We should change the name of this city to Duran Remo.”
