The Duran Duran: Future Past tour comes to Amalie Arena in Tampa Saturday night. If you haven't snagged tickets yet or won them on Q105, it's not too late. And ticket prices aren't so bad for this one, especially considering the concert will feature performances by Bastille and Nile Rodgers & Chic.

Is the Duran Duran concert sold out?
No, but many of the seats left for sale are reseller seats so you'll likely pay higher than face value. HOWEVER, as venues often do, it looks like Amalie Arena released some more Duran Duran tickets you won't have to pay extra for. They aren't the best seats in the house, but it looks like a BUNCH of seats in Sections 318 and 329 are now available. You'll be way up high and side stage though.

How much are the Duran Duran tickets that are still left?
Those upper level seats in 318 and 329 that I mentioned start at $51 each. Once you add in the fees, the total comes to about $75. As ticket costs go in 2023, that's not a bad price for legendary groups like Duran Duran and Chic. One other good thing... tickets for this concert are exempt from Florida sales tax.

Gotta have the best seats in the house?
This morning I did see 4 seats together dead center on the floor in row 2. However, you'll really need to give your credit card a workout with these seats. They're selling for $1,329 EACH! Keep in mind though - those aren't Duran Duran or Amalie Arena's prices. Those are seats from a reseller so as showtime draws near, that price may drop if the seller begins to panic.

It's going to be an awesome night of Q105 '80s hits when Duran Duran comes to Amalie Arena in Tampa June 17. Curious if they're going to play your favorite Duran Duran classics? Here's the setlist for the "Future Past" tour dates they've played so far. They'll likely stick pretty close to this order when they come to Florida in a couple weeks.

The show starts at 7 with Bastille and Nile Rogers & CHIC opening the show. Tickets started at $36.20 when they sent on sale but the cheapest I found this morning (June 1) is $51 for upper level seats in the 300s at Amalie Arena. While you will have to pay those fees we all hate, you can at least save a little money with the Florida Tax Exemption for this show.

Night Boat

The first song of the night will come from the band's first album in 1981. Simon is said to have written this song while waiting for the bus one night. The music video features zombies and no they didn't copy Thriller. Their video was filmed several months before Michael Jackson's.

Wild Boys

Opening act Nile Rodgers produced this one.  This one almost hit #1 but was kept at #2 by both Hall & Oates "Out of Touch" and Madonna's "Like A Virgin" in 1984.

Hungry Like The Wolf

Yeah you definitely want to get to your seat early or you're going to miss some classics.   This music video for this one was a staple during MTV's early years.  It even won the first Grammy Award for music videos.

A View To A Kill

Written and recorded for the theme to the 1985 James Bond movie, this was the last song the most famous 5 member lineup of the band recorded until they got back together 15 years later.

Notorious

One of my favorite Duran Duran songs, this one is often forgotten. It was from the first album the band did after Roger Taylor and Andy Taylor left the group.

Give It All Up

Some newer music from the band, this one's from the Future Past album Duran Duran put out in 2021.  It features background vocals by Tove Lo.

Lonely In Your Nightmare

A song from Rio, this 1982 song had 2 music videos.  Scenes were filmed in Sri Lanka.

Is There Something I Should Know?

This was special to the band as it was Duran Duran's first #1 in the U.K.

Anniversary

Another one from their 2021 album "Future Past."  This one was written as the band was preparing to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Friends of Mine

A not so well known deep track from their debut album from 1981, this one is featured on a bunch of the band's live albums.

Careless Memories

The band's second single from 1981.  It didn't do so well. It peaked at #37 in the UK and didn't do any better here in the U.S.

Ordinary World

This one capped off a big comeback for the band, hitting #1 in 1993.

Come Undone

Another 90s gem.  This one was a last minute addition to the album. It was written by Simon Le Bon as a gift to his wife Yasmin.

Planet Earth

This one from 1981 was more popular in the U.K. and Australia than here in the U.S.

White Lines

A cover of the Grandmaster Mellie Mel classic!

The Reflex

The song that became Duran Duran's most successful single to date in 1984.   They even kept Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing In The Dark" out of the #1 spot with this one.

Girls On Film

Don't go anywhere when this one ends.  There's an encore to come!

Save A Prayer

This one wasn't meant to be a single here in the United States, but once MTV started playing it, fans loved it. A song about a one night stand, Simon Le Bon described the song as "realistic and not romantic."

Rio

The big finale! One of the most iconic songs of the 80s, it was a MTV favorite for years.
