On 23 July 1983 Duran Duran staged an open air benefit concert at Villa Park, Birmingham

On 23 July 1983 Duran Duran staged an open air benefit concert at Villa Park, Birmingham, England in front of 18, 000 people who paid £ 8.50 a ticket to raise money for MENCAP. It was one of only two concerts that summer by the band, the other being on 20 July before the Prince and Princess of Wales at Londons Dominion Theatre.
Birmingham was chosen as the venue, as it was where the band members first met and formed the group. The concert and subsequent shows in the area have always been regarded as a " homecoming".This event was particularly special to Roger Taylor as he once had ambitions to be Aston Villas goalkeeper and was a regular spectator at the ground.
