Secret Oktober was filmed at the Encore Theatre in Las Vegas
Duran Duran has announced the release of an exciting new live concert film, Secret Oktober, which will be available exclusively on StagePlayer+ starting Friday, October 25th, just in time for Halloween 2024.
Secret Oktober presents the origin story of Duran Duran’s latest studio album, Danse Macabre. The concert film was recorded at the Encore Theatre at Wynn in Las Vegas on October 31, 2022. Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor, in full costume, took to the stage complete with 20-foot-high skeletons, tombstones, cobwebs, coffins, and ghouls for a unique, themed set. The ultimate Halloween party ensued.
The concert film includes a parade of rarities and special covers – Duran Duran’s first live performance of “Secret Oktober” since 2011, their first of “Love Voodoo” since 2017, and first of “Nightboat” since 2005. Covers of Siouxsie and the Banshees’ “Spellbound,” Cerrone’s “Supernature,” and The Specials’ “Ghost Town” also debuted in what has gone down in Duran Duran history as a Halloween show for the ages. The band and their audience had so much fun putting the set down in the studio, creating a worldwide annual Halloween event for all of the band’s fans to enjoy, immortalized in their latest album, Danse Macabre.
Secret Oktober is available to watch via the StagePlayer+ app on Amazon Fire TV, LG, Samsung, Netgem (ISP partners include TalkTalk, Community Fibre, and others), casting to Apple TV and Roku devices, or via browser. A digital download of Danse Macabre De Luxecomes is free to all fans who purchase the film.
The Secret Oktober film is directed by award-winning filmmaker Gavin Elder. Elder has worked and collaborated with Duran Duran for over 20 years, most recently on the band’s globally released docu-concert film, A Hollywood High.
The Secret Oktober concert film arrives amongst a wave of celebratory activity. On October 31, 2024, Duran Duran will summon all Halloween enthusiasts to show up, dress up, and celebrate All Hallows’ Eve in style for a special live show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The band is currently amid a short North American east-coast tour, bringing the legendary, award-winning four-piece to Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland and New Hampshire.
