Following the addition of Daniel Bedingfield to Duran Duran's May 28 Stadium Show bill at Birmingham's St Andrew's Football Ground, the band has announced New York electro-rockers The Bravery will open the show.

The Bravery, whose debut album entered at number five in the UK charts earlier this year, were so keen to join Duran at their home-town date that they will charter a helicopter in and out of the city, having already committed to play at two other shows that same day.

The Bravery will kick off with a slot on Winchester's Homelands Festival before flying to Brum to open for Duran Duran.

Later that night they will play a headline show at London's Astoria.
