Duran Duran 2022-06-25 Rock In Rio, Lisbon

Sat, June 25, 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Rock In Rio (Parque da Bela Vista)

I went to Rock In Rio to see Duran Duran (for the 6th time) live. This time was "FUTURE PAST EUROPE". After a week of some crazy weather we got a sunny hot day. But it worth every minute of it. 70.000 people.

It was my sixth Duran Duran show. I went to 3 shows outside Portugal and with this one will be my third show in Portugal.

I arrived at Rock In Rio at 6 am. Still night. Cold night with some rain. I went to the road where we will be in line to enter later, waiting that somebody else came. And about 9 am a A-Ha fan arrived.

We got inside a little after 12 pm.

After waiting for a few minutes on the main entrance we got in. When I was waiting my friend Tania appeared behind me (she wanted to see "Bush"). A lot of people ahead of us taking photos and trying to give us "things". Well, so I run to the front and then went to the left side. I got in to the front row corner on the left and my friend Tania went to the front row corner on the right side.

Finally I could rest on a sunny and hot day.

Before Duran Duran in Rock In Rio, Lisbon we saw the band "Bush", also "UB40 featuring Ally Campbell" and "A-Ha".

The first band on stage was Bush. They played for 53 minutes (17:00 - 17:53).
I never saw them before but I like them. Gavin Rossdale just went outside the stage to the fans everywhere while singing a few times. When he passed from me I touched his arm. And on the other side of the stage my friend Tania just got a special hugh from him. Awesome moments for sure. The sound was really awesome. Love one of the songs where we could see a video of people flying on roads. It was "Comedown". Love the song and the video behind was freaking awesome. Also great moments: "Bullet Holes" from the movie "John Wick 3: Parabellum" with images from the movie also behind. "Glycerine" another great moment.

I will write here the setlist:


01. The Kingdom
02. Machinehead

05. Blood River
06. Ghosts in the Machine

The second band was UB40 featuring Ally Campbell.. They played for 57 minutes (19:00 - 19:57).
It was cool to see some reggae music. We got "Purple Rain" by Prince also "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis Presley. "Red Red Wine" to finish the show.

The third band was A-Ha. They played for 76 minutes (21:00 - 22:16). "Summer 2022 Tour".
They started playing when the night came. Started with sunny glasses but after the 1st or 2nd music they take it out. Everything was so slow. Yes, but with some some cool songs.

Finally was time for Duran Duran. They started the show at 23h04 and played for 102 minutes (23:04 - 00:31 and encore 00:33 - 00:48).

Duran Duran perform a 19-song set at Rock in Rio Festival, 17 songs plus 2 on the encore.
They still are freaking amazing. A lot of energy on stage. For some 60 year old members they still look fit. Simon a bit voiceless in some parts, but nothing out of this world.
Cool that they played some of the new songs, but always awesome when they play like a greatest hits set. Great songs from the 80s and 90s that will always stay with my memories.

I will write here the setlist:


Velvet Newton (Song played from tape)
01. The Wild Boys
02. Invisible
03. All of You
04. A View to a Kill
05. Notorious
06. Union of the Snake
07. Come Undone
08. Give It All Up
09. Hungry Like The Wolf
10. Friends of Mine
11. Ordinary World
12. Tonight United
13. Planet Earth
14. Hold Back the Rain
15. The Reflex
