Depeche Mode have announced a huge European stadium tour, plus a set of North American arena shows, to promote their forthcoming 15th studio album, Memento Mori.
The dates and album title were announced at a press conference event in Berlin, Germany today (October 4).
Discussing the group's new album, their first since the passing of founding member, Andy 'Fletch' Fletcher in May, Martin Gore says, “We started work on this project early in the pandemic, and its themes were directly inspired by that time. After Fletch’s passing, we decided to continue as we’re sure this is what he would have wanted, and that has really given the project an extra level of meaning.”
Vocalist Dave Gahan added, “Fletch would have loved this album. We’re really looking forward to sharing it with you soon, and we can’t wait to present it to you live at the shows next year.”
The band will kick off their world tour in support of Memento Mori in Sacramento, California on March 23 next year. Their first show in Europe will take place in Amsterdam on May 16, after which the duo will play a mixture of festivals, arena dates, and stadium shows, including their sole UK show, at London's Twickenham Stadium on June 17.
