Duran Duran to play Olympic gig - The Nation, Pakistan

LONDON (AFP) - Duran Duran will headline a concert in London's Hyde Park to coincide with the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, organisers announced on Tuesday.
The 1980s rockers will represent England at the BT London Live concert on July 27, sharing a stage with Welsh band Stereophonics, Northern Ireland's Snow Patrol and Scottish singer Paolo Nutini. Concertgoers will be able to watch the opening ceremony live on giant screens.
Organisers said the performances would be timed so the audience at the concert will be able to watch TV coverage of the opening ceremony from the Olympic Park.
