North American Duran Duran [ tickets ] fans will have plenty of opportunities to catch the group live during an ambitious 2005 tour of the continent.

The run kicks off in mid-February, and 40 dates are set, with a mid-April finale scheduled at New York City's Madison Square Garden. Tickets for most shows hit the box office this month, according to the band's website. Details are shown in the itinerary below.

The tour supports "Astronaut," the first studio album in 21 years from the original five-man Duran Duran lineup. The set, which features the single "(Reach Up for the) Sunrise," surfaced on Epic Records in October.

Duran Duran last toured the U.S. in the fall of 2003 to mark the group's 25th anniversary. The jaunt marked the first time that John Taylor (bass), Nick Rhodes (keyboards), Simon Le Bon (vocals), Andy Taylor (guitar) and Roger Taylor (drums) hit the stage together since 1985's Live Aid.
