Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers Debut 'Free To Love' on Jimmy Kimmel Live

The appearance opens a campaign tied to festival dates, a Vegas run, then a European tour.

Overview

  • Duran Duran performed the disco-leaning single with Nile Rodgers on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, marking its TV debut.
  • The late-night set built a party mood with backup singers, retro visuals, and rainbow and unicorn imagery from the official video.
  • Free To Love arrived earlier this month as the band's first new music of 2026.
  • Keyboardist Nick Rhodes framed the track as an anthem for freedom that calls for peace, hope, and understanding.
  • The rollout leads into BeachLife Festival, a multi-night residency at BleauLive at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, then a pan-European tour starting in June.
