Today in Duran History – Blondie Support

Leave a comment

On this date in 1982, Duran Duran opened for Blondie at the Starlight Amphitheater in Kansas City.  This was the first show that they opened for Blondie.  This tour featured 13 shows and took place in the US and Canada.  Their participation on this tour meant that the Rio Tour was split into two parts, that Duran’s tour was put on hold.

Looking back, do you think this was a good career move on their part or do you think they would have been just as or more successful on their own?  What do you think, Duranies???
