Duran Duran’s music career is getting a new tribute in Britain with a collection of postage stamps celebrating more than four decades of the band’s work. The British postal service said the special issue will arrive on September 17, 2026, marking 45 years since the release of the group’s self-titled debut album.
The collection includes eight First Class stamps featuring artwork from albums released throughout Duran Duran’s career. The selected records are Duran Duran, Rio, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, Notorious, The Wedding Album, Astronaut, Paper Gods, and Future Past.
A separate miniature sheet focuses on the band’s live history, with four stamps connected to the Careless Memories Tour, Astronaut Tour, Sing Blue Silver Tour, and Invisible Tour.
Formed in Birmingham, England, Duran Duran became one of the most recognizable British bands of the 1980s, combining pop, rock, and electronic influences with a strong visual identity. The new stamp collection places that history alongside other British cultural figures and events previously recognized through special stamp releases.
