Should Duran Duran Be Headlining Festivals? They Think So
Don't ever insult Simon Le Bon by suggesting that Duran Duran is on the small stage level at a festival. It's headliner or BUST.
Simon previously said he'd be interested in playing the world-renowned Glastonbury festival in England, but it'd have to be the right time slot.
And now, he's doubling down on the importance of going on last. He says Duran Duran has been offered to play in a "disco tent at 3:00 p.m."
Quote, "We shouldn't be below anybody on the bill. So, we'll hold out because we're a headline act. That's all there is to it."

FUN FACT!!!
Here's a random fact and some great rock and roll trivia. Jimi Hendrix and Joe Pesci were in the same band in the 1960s, but not at the same time. Early in both of their careers, they briefly played guitar for a band called Joey Dee and the Starliters. Best known for "Peppermint Twist". (Neither Jimi nor Joe played on the record.)
