Duran Duran plans to rent out an island in Second Life where they can perform live concerts, according to the BBC.

The first concert it set to hit next month and the band has commissioned someone to build avatars of the group.

Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes said of the project: "Second Life has brought a third dimension to the Internet; it is the new frontier where dreams have become reality. "When the video revolution began we instantly saw the opportunity to experiment and explore a new form of expression to enhance the musical experience. Second Life is the future right now, offering endless possibilities for artists."

Kinda cool. Kinda spent, but kinda cool. Brian Crecente
