The Grammy Award-winning English new wave band Duran Duran will make a tour stop to headline Yaamava Resort & Casino in Highland on Sunday, Aug. 20.

Tickets for the event will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, July 10 at yaamava.com. The casino show marks the second tour stop in Southern California that the band has publicly announced. The second stop is at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista on Tuesday, Aug. 22.

Duran Duran emerged from the New Romantic scene out of the United Kingdom in the 1970s that was characterized by flamboyant and eccentric fashion inspired by the music of David Bowie, Marc Bolan and Roxy Music. The group was innovative with their approach in making music videos, which helped pave their success in leading the MTV-driven Second British Invasion in the 1980s.

The band, known for hits such as “Come Undone,” “Ordinary World” and “Save a Prayer,” has won numerous awards throughout their career including two Brit Awards, two Grammy Awards, an MTV Video Music Award for Lifetime Achievement and a Video Visionary Award from the MTV Europe Music Awards.

They were also awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
