The Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famers won’t be the only major act to be taking the stage at Cruel World. They’ll be joined by a host of huge names like Interpol, Blondie, and Simple Minds to name a few. Fans can also look forward to seeing Placebo, Soft Cell, and Adam Ant and this year’s Cruel World Fest at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

If you want to see Duran Duran live at Cruel World, tickets will be available through StubHub, where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

This is the fourth iteration of the Cruel World Festival which began in 2020. It’s starting to create a substantial name for itself in the festival community due to its reliable rain-or-shine performance policy, relatively affordable ticket prices, and incredible acts.

There are four different ticket options for the Cruel World Fest, depending on how much access you’re looking for. There’s General Admission for a fan who just wants to get in, General Admission+ for fans who want a little more access, VIP for exclusivity, and Clubhouse passes for 21+ festival-goers that want to pay for their food and drink ahead of time.

While we don’t know the setlists of any of the bands performing just yet, fans are assured to hear some smash hits. Fans can hope to hear “All The Rage Back Home” by Interpol, “Running Up That Hill” by Placebo, and of course “Hungry Like The Wolf” by Duran Duran.
