Wham!Duran playing Hop Harvest Festival 2026
WHAM!DURAN will set the stage alight at this year's Hop Harvest Festival 2026 on 12th September!
Get ready for the ultimate 80s party! Bringing together the biggest hits of Wham! and Duran Duran in one electrifying live show packed with iconic anthems. "A guaranteed crowd-pleaser, WHAM!DURAN delivers the soundtrack to the greatest decade in pop - they'll take you to the Edge of Heaven!"
If the soundtrack to your youth featured Rio, Hungry Like the Wolf, Club Tropicana and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, then WHAM!DURAN is the show you simply can't miss.
For more than 30 years, this outstanding tribute has been filling dance floors, festival fields and theatres across the UK, Europe and the Middle East with the unmistakable sounds of two of the greatest bands of the 1980s. Combining the style, energy and musicianship of Wham! and Duran Duran into one unforgettable live experience, WHAM!DURAN has earned a reputation as one of the UK's longest-running and most successful tribute acts.
From the very beginning, authenticity has been everything. Every keyboard hook, guitar riff, saxophone solo and percussion detail has been lovingly recreated to capture the sound and excitement of the original recordings. That commitment even extended to working alongside musicians connected to the original artists, helping create a show that's as faithful as it is exhilarating.
The result is a non-stop celebration of pop perfection, featuring timeless classics including Rio, Girls on Film, The Reflex, Hungry Like the Wolf, Club Tropicana, Everything She Wants, I'm Your Man, Freedom, Young Guns and, of course, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go—with Last Christmas making a welcome appearance during the festive season.
Whether you're reliving the greatest decade in pop or discovering these iconic songs for the first time, expect huge singalongs, irresistible nostalgia and wall-to-wall hits. WHAM!DURAN doesn't just recreate the music of the '80s—it recreates the feeling, making every performance a feel-good party from the first note to the last.
