Arcadia were the pop group formed in 1985 by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran, during a break in that band's schedule. However, Roger Taylor appeared in only a few band photographs and in none of the music videos, and stated he was only to be involved in the recording side of the project (he also had minor involvement in The Power Station, the other Duran Duran splinter group).

- Arcadia were the pop group formed in 1985 by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran, during a break in that band's schedule. However, Roger Taylor appeared in only a few band photographs and in none of the music videos, and stated he was only to be involved in the recording side of the project (he also had minor involvement in The Power Station, the other Duran Duran splinter group). The name of the band was reportedly inspired by the Nicolas Poussin painting Et in Arcadia ego (also known as "The Arcadian Shepherds"). The group recorded just one album, the platinum-selling So Red the Rose. It peaked at no.30 in the UK and no.23 in the US, and featured the UK/US top 10 single "Election Day," as well as "The Flame," "The Promise," and "Goodbye Is Forever". Simon Le Bon described So Red the Rose as "the most pretentious album ever made", while Allmusic called it "the best album Duran Duran never made". Musicians who contributed to the album included guitarists David Gilmour and Carlos Alomar, pianist Herbie Hancock, Sting (who provided backing vocals on "The Promise"), Grace Jones (who provided brief but dramatic spoken-word interludes on "The Flame" and "Election Day"), bass player Mark Egan of the Pat Metheny Group (whose very distinctive fretless sound can be recognised in "The Promise", "El Diablo" and "Lady Ice") and David Van Tieghem, a percussionist from New York. The band also realised music videos directed by Roger Christian, Marcelo Anciano, Russell Mulcahy and Dean Chamberlain, and recorded the single "Say the Word" for the Playing for Keeps movie soundtrack. Arcadia continued the Duran Duran tradition of a slick image, tasteful fashions and hair-dos. For the Arcadia incarnation of their ever-changing band aesthetic, Le Bon, Rhodes, and Roger Taylor donned an upmarket 'gothic' look of black tuxedos, vintage formal wear, and bow ties. The three also dyed their hair black, as seen when they performed (as Duran Duran, with Andy and John Taylor) at the 1985 Live Aid concert in Philadelphia. The group did a variety of promotional appearances on television, but never toured, and dissolved a year later in 1986 when Duran Duran re-formed with Le Bon, Rhodes, and bassist John Taylor to record their next album Notorious. During the tour to support Notorious, Duran Duran played the Arcadia single "Election Day" as well as "Some Like it Hot" from the Power Station record. Drummer Roger Taylor retired from the music business for 15 years after the release of the Arcadia album, but returned to rejoin the original Duran Duran line-up in 2001. In 2009, Arcadia effectively reformed to play Election Day in London at the Lovebox Festival in Victoria Park on July 18th. The band was of course Duran Duran, sans Andy Taylor, but the performance featured all of the original members of Arcadia playing an Arcadia song live. In that respect, it ticked the box as an "Arcadia" live performance
- Nach der Veröffentlichung von „A View to a Kill“, dem Titelsong zum gleichnamigen James-Bond-Film, gründeten 1985 Simon Le Bon, Roger Taylor und Nick Rhodes von Duran Duran das Nebenprojekt Arcadia, um fernab von Duran Duran musikalisch zu experimentieren und neue Soundpfade auszuprobieren.
- アーケイディア (Arcadia) は、イギリスのロックバンド。メンバーはデュラン・デュランのサイモン・ル・ボン、ニック・ローズ、ロジャー・テイラー。（デュラン・デュランのジョン・テイラーとアンディ・テイラーはロックバンド「パワー・ステーション」を結成）。 1985年に結成し、アルバム「情熱の赤い薔薇」を1枚残している。アルバムにはデヴィッド・ギルモア（ピンク・フロイド）、スティング（「The Promise」のバック・コーラス）、ジャズピアニストのハービー・ハンコック、グレイス・ジョーンズ（「The Flame」のバック・コーラス）、土屋昌巳など大物ゲストの参加も話題を呼んだ。 また映画「Playing For Keeps」（高卒物語）のサウンドトラックに「Say The World」を提供している。
- Arcadia was een soloproject in 1985 en 1986 van drie leden van Duran Duran. De band werd gevormd tijdens een periode dat Duran Duran een tijd niet actief was. Simon le Bon, Nick Rhodes en Roger Taylor namen het album So Red the Rose op met onder andere de gastartiesten Sting, David Gilmour en Grace Jones. Het minder commerciële album werd goed ontvangen door de toenmalige critici. Het nummer Election Day doet het goed in Nederland, de opvolgers The Flame en The Promise scoren met name in Groot-Brittannië. Arcadia werd eind 1986 weer opgeheven, nadat Roger Taylor en Andy Taylor Duran Duran hadden verlaten en Duran Duran met drie man verder ging.
- Arcadia nazwa zespołu utworzonego w 1985 przez Simona Le Bona, Nicka Rhodesa i Rogera Taylora z grupy Duran Duran w czasie przerwy w pracy zespołu. Arcadia nagrała jeden album So Red The Rose, który stał się platynową płytą. W pracy zespołu uczestniczyli: David Gilmour, Grace Jones i Sting, którego słyszymy w The Promise.
