The Los Angeles–based tribute band will appear on January 23.
Raue Center for the Arts will welcome RIO – A Tribute to Duran Duran for a performance on Friday, January 23, 2026, at 8 p.m. The Los Angeles–based group has gained national recognition for performances that recreate the sound and stage aesthetic associated with Duran Duran’s peak era.
The program will include hits such as “Hungry Like the Wolf,” “Rio,” “The Reflex,” “Girls on Film,” and “Ordinary World,” offering audiences a survey of the band’s most recognized material. Raue Center Executive Director Richard Kuranda says, “RIO is more than a tribute—it’s a time machine back to the golden age of new wave and MTV.”
