Palace Hall, Bucharest: Concert was a Duran Duran show held during The Astronaut Tour at the Palace Hall in Bucharest, Romania on 19 October 2006.

About the concertEdit

This was Duran Duran's first ever show in Romania, staged at the Palace Hall located in the center of Bucharest. With a 4,060 capacity, the venue features floors and columns made from red marble.

The band line-up included guitarist Dominic Brown as a replacement for Andy Taylor, who performed his last concert for Duran Duran in Monaco on 4 August.

Duran Duran kicked off the show in front of a well-lit display that projected various images. The stage ignited into light when the band launched their 2-hour set with "Hungry Like the Wolf". Their debut single "Planet Earth" followed.

After a rocking performance of "Hold Back the Rain", Duran Duran then covered The Power Station's "Some Like It Hot", a song extensively played during The Big Live Thing Tour.

An encore featuring "Girls on Film" and "Rio" finished the show.

The opening act for the event was Directia 5, a Romanian band who formed in 1991.

Tickets for the event cost around 150 RON.
