Depeche Mode Hint at 2024 Australian Tour

By August Billy

Depeche Mode – which currently consists of just vocalist Dave Gahan and songwriter Martin Gore – will release their fifteenth studio album, Memento Mori , this Friday, 24th March. In a new interview with Italian blog Pierluigi Piccini , Gahan indicated the band are planning an Australian tour sometime between now and “spring 2024”.

Responding to the question, “What do you wish was written on the last page of Depeche Mode?” Gahan said, “For now I know we have this massive record ahead of us and an ongoing tour, including a series of as-yet-unannounced dates in Asia and Australia, through spring 2024.”

Depeche Mode – ‘Ghosts Again’

Depeche Mode have tour dates scheduled until the end of 2023. “Spring 2024” presumably correlates with the Australian autumn, meaning they’d visit sometime between January and June 2024. It would be the band’s first Australian tour in 30 years, with their last shows on this side of the world taking place as part of 1994’s ‘Exotic’ tour.

On that occasion, Gahan, Gore and their former bandmates, Alan Wilder and the late Andy Fletcher, played shows at Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre and Melbourne’s National Tennis Centre (now Rod Laver Arena), as well as the now-defunct Perth Entertainment Centre, Sydney Entertainment Centre and Brisbane Festival Hall.

Fletcher, a co-founding member and the band’s long-time keyboardist, passed away in May 2022 at the age of 60. As a result of his passing, Gahan told Pierluigi Piccini that Memento Mori is a more collaborative album between himself and Gore.

The singles ‘Ghosts Again’ and ‘My Cosmos Is Mine’ have been released in anticipation of the album’s 24th March release.

Aussie Fans Hopeful As Depeche Mode Tease New Tour Announcement

Is there any hope for an Australian tour?

Depeche Mode (Source: Facebook)

Depeche Mode seem to be teasing a new tour announcement, and it’s gotten some Australian fans hopeful for the legendary outfit to land on our shores.

Performing at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, on Friday (7 July), a message appeared on the screens: “2024” on one screen and “10.7 10:00 CET”.

Fan account Depeche Down Under wrote on Twitter following the image circling on social media, “Next set of #DepecheMode tour dates announced 6pm Monday Sydney time. Likely European indoor venues. Could give an indication as to whether an Australia/Asia tour is realistic.”

In a conversation with Depeche Down Under, the fan says they’ve heard from a source in the UK that there was a “strong chance” of the band coming to Australia next year. The Twitter user predicts that only European tour dates will drop tonight, then Australia later. They remain hopeful despite only having rumours to hold on to at this stage.

A source that's reportedly close to the band dropped this bombshell on Facebook last week:

Another fan who goes by One Planet Mikey  said last night, “In a little over 24 hours I'll find out if the rumours are true and Depeche Mode announces dates in Australia for 2024. I have never been this hopeful about an Australian tour before.”

That hope doesn’t come from nowhere. In March, vocalist Dave Gahan let slip that Depeche Mode will be heading our way in support of their new album, Memento Mori,  in an interview with Italian blog Pierluigi Piccini .

Speaking about future plans, Gahan revealed they have “a series of as-yet-unannounced dates in Asia and Australia, through spring 2024”, their first down under in 30 years. It’s worth noting that Gahan’s reference to Spring 2024 could be for springtime in the Northern Hemisphere, which is our Autumn.

Polish website 101DM has rounded up numerous tour rumours, with the publication suggesting that the music icons could be touring Australia in February 2024. 101DM  believes that European dates are coming tonight at 6 pm AEST – is there any hope for an Australian tour?

The Music has reached out to representatives for Depeche Mode for comment.

A petition was launched last year when Depeche Mode’s ‘world tour’ was announced and excluded Australia.

The British band’s last tour of Australia was in 1994 in support of  Songs Of Faith And Devotion.

14 Artists Who Need to Tour Australia as Soon as Possible

They often say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but countless australian music fans are holding out hope for some of these musical icons., tyler jenke, tyler jenke's most recent stories.

• Mallrat on The Musical Metamorphosis of ‘Butterfly Blue’

Australia is often a major touring destination for most artists, but some of the world's biggest names seem to have an aversion to coming down under.

It’s no secret that Australians love their live music. Why, in addition to Melbourne being named the live music capital of the world , Irish icons U2 managed to pull in US $35.7 million from just eight shows in Australia last year. No matter how you slice it, that’s a testament to how much your average Aussie likes a night out with some good tunes.

But spare a thought for some of the most diehard music fans out there who never get a chance to see their favourite acts live. While Aussies never got a chance to see Canadian icons Rush during their lifetime, artists like Madonna and Paul McCartney finally ended local touring droughts of 23 and 24 years, respectively, when they both finally visited a few years back.

However, countless artists remain on the wish-lists of numerous Australian music-lovers. With some of them not visiting for a number of years or even during their entire careers, we’ve decided to take a look at some of the artists who need to add a trip down under to their itineraries, stat!

Frank Ocean

Years Since Last Tour: 7

The story of Frank Ocean’s sole trip to Australia is a bittersweet one, really. Having been named as one of the international acts on Splendour in the Grass’ 2013 lineup, the former Odd Future member was set to be one of the festival’s biggest drawcards. Releasing his Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape in 2011, and sharing  Channel Orange in 2012, things were shaping up to make his Australian visit one for the ages.

Performing in Melbourne on July 25, Ocean kicked off his local tour with a headline show at Festival Hall, but “vocal issues [he] experienced during the show” meant that he was forced to seek medical attention; ultimately leading to the cancellation of his entire tour . This cancellation included a spot on the Splendour in the Grass lineup, and gave Australian fans one lone solo show to remember from his all-too brief visit.

Since then, tour dates have been sporadic at best for the critically-acclaimed musician, leading some to wonder when – if ever – he might return. Thankfully, the release of new music and an impending headline spot on the Coachella lineup indicates that maybe local fans will get another chance to catch him live sometime soon.

Oh, and remember how we said Ocean’s Aussie tour was a bittersweet one? Well, his Splendour cancellation resulted in the call-up of a steadily-rising New Zealand artist named Lorde. We’re not saying this festival appearance was what put her on the path to superstardom , but locals will forever remember seeing Lorde at Splendour before she hit the big-time.

“There are so many people choosing violence and division right now,” Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo said.

In the interest of fairness, this one should be prefaced by saying that it’s not quite Metallica’s fault that we’ve waited seven years for their return, with last year’s planned tour being cancelled due to frontman James Hetfield entering rehab.

For a band like Metallica though, it could almost be expected that it takes them a while to circle back around to country. After all, as one of the most successful metal bands in the world, it’s understandable that their legions of fans around the globe are calling for the group to headline their local stadium. However, the band’s last trek to Australia took place way back in 2013, and while we’re not bitter per se, that  was a total of four North American tours ago.

Having been out on the road on their WorldWired Tour since 2016, Metallica have been busy with close to 200 tour dates around the world. Though they’ve promised a return to Australia at some point, we’re hoping it’ll take place before a new album kicks off a brand new tour cycle.

Years Since Last Tour: 8

While Radiohead have played hundreds of critically-acclaimed shows in countries like their native United Kingdom and even the United States, the only thing Australians are united in is a collective dismay at a lack of the band’s local gigs. Touring the country a total of four times since their formation, it took Radiohead over eight years to return after their 2004 tour, with two albums following in the meantime.

Though Thom Yorke and co. haven’t given a reason why Australia so frequently gets a raw deal with their shows, it appears they do like to try and make up for lost time when they finally return, with the group’s frontman famously playing a DJ set to a packed crowd at Sydney’s Goodgod Small Club back in 2012.

At this stage, there’s no word when you can pencil in a return visit, with drummer Philip Selway recently revealing they’d be taking 2020 off to focus on other projects. “This is kind of the year away from Radiohead, but we will pick that up again,” he explained.

System of a Down

When System of a Down announced heir hiatus back in 2006, fans figured that it would just be a handful of years before the group returned to both the live stage and studio in order to resume their usual touring and recording habits. While their 2011 reformation is yet to boast new music , the group’s live return resulted in their third visit to Australia when they headlined the 2012 edition of the Soundwave Festival .

Serving as a stunning return to form for the metal titans, local fans have been left waiting for news of another tour ever since. Considering they’ve been  somewhat consistent with their touring schedule since reuniting, it’s logical to assume that live dates are set to follow at some point. However, since the’ve never done a headline tour of the country, it’s likely we’ll be waiting until Download Festival announces them as headliner in the coming years.

Janelle Monáe

Despite Janelle Monáe having risen to fame throughout much of the last decade, fans have been bumping her tracks ever since the release of her demo record,  The Audition , way back in 2003. While 2010’s The ArchAndroid brought Monáe the widespread success she so deserved, it eventually resulted in her first-ever visit to Australia back in 2012, which took place as part of the Vivid LIVE festival in Sydney.

Now, almost eight years, and one cancelled tour later , fans appear to be no closer to getting the announcement of a return appearance from the artist. With her most recent album, Dirty Computer , being released in 2018, and numerous acting roles taking place since then, it’s logical to assume she might be a bit too busy to book in an Australian tour these days. While a new set of dates being announced seems closer to a dream than a reality, at least we’ve got those amazing memories of May 2012 to tide us over.

Years Since Last Tour: 12

It feels as though it’s always been in Björk’s nature to reside somewhere just outside of the spotlight of mainstream publicity. Though her music has constantly been a source of praise and inspiration, her live shows have always felt as though they’re designed to be once-in-a-lifetime affairs. Though her ’90s output resulted in two tours across 1994 and 1996, fans had to wait another 12 years before Björk would return; this time sharing a Big Day Out bill alongside Rage Against The Machine.

Famously, fans at the Sydney leg of the tour found themselves somewhat hard done by, with her festival appearance being cancelled due to vocal issues suffered during a headline gig at the Sydney Opera House. Maybe this is why when Björk Digital made its world premiere at the 2016 Vivid LIVE event in Sydney, the artist actually turned up for a pair of DJ sets , and overlooked the rest of the country.

Though three studio albums have arrived since her last full visit to the country, it remains to be seen when Björk might return for a series of headline shows.

Rage Against the Machine

Just like Björk, the last time Australian fans saw Rage Against the Machine on local soil was thanks to the 2008 Big Day Out festival. Having reformed only one year earlier, many were witnessing something that they thought the might never see, while others treated their performances as the life-changing events they truly were.

Though rumours of new music never came to fruition, the eventual split around 2011 gave birth to Prophets of Rage ; a supergroup featuring three quarters of the group (minus frontman Zack de la Rocha), alongside members of Cypress Hill and Public Enemy.

Although Prophets of Rage did make an Australian appearance for the inaugural Download Festival in 2018, last year brought with it the news that Rage Against the Machine had once again reformed for a series of tour dates in 2020. However, while this impressive list of dates is slowly expanding, Australians are still left wanting in regards to when we might see the giants of political rock.

Guided by Voices

Years Since Last Tour: 20

If there’s one thing that fans of Ohio indie-rockers Guided by Voices would be painfully aware of, it’s the band’s aversion to touring outside of North America and the UK. In fact, across the 37-year career, the band have barely toured outside of the US, UK, and Canada to the point where most countries boast one solitary visit from the band at some point. Such is the case of Australia, where the group toured in 2000 in support of their 11th album, Do The Collapse .

To be fair, Guided by Voices did split up in 2004, and since 2010 have been relatively consistent with their performances, meaning that the chances of them once again returning to Australia aren’t hopeless. However, with an apparent magnetic attraction to the recording studio rather than the tour bus, it’s unclear when Robert Pollard and his extensive list of collaborators might return to our shores once again.

Epitaph Records/Press

Years Since Last Tour: 22

For over two decades now, it’s been painfully obvious that Rancid don’t have any plans to return to Australia. A shame, really, considering that their first two visits between 1996 and 1998 not only remain a highlight of the ’90s for many punk fans, but also resulted in the romance of frontman Tim Armstrong and Australian Brody Dalle . Ultimately, their separation a few years later seemed to sour Armstrong’s view of Australia, even going so far as to label Melbourne (Dalle’s hometown) as a “tropical London” on the Rancid song of the same name.

Now, 22 years on from their last tour of Australia, fans are still wondering if the band may in fact ever return. Though new records have come forth, an apparently misguided attempt at marketing merchandise to their Aussie fans in 2016 resulted in comments stating that the band “obviously don’t give a fuck about [their] fans down here.” Though it’s doubtful that such language has enticed the band to tour here any time soon, it looks as though any hopes of catching Rancid live will involve airfare costs.

Depeche Mode

Years Since Last Tour: 26

When Depeche Mode released  Violator – their seventh album – in 1990, the English outfit decided to visit Australia for a two-date promo tour. Unfortunately, singer Dave Gahan strained his voice at the Sydney performance, causing the Melbourne date to be cancelled just as doors were set to open. Making it up to fans a few years later, Depeche Mode returned in support of their follow-up,  Songs of Faith and Devotion , in 1994. Since then though, it appears the group aren’t too keen on adding some more stamps to their passport.

Since 1994, Depeche Mode haven’t exactly been a prolific group (releasing just six albums), though their relentless touring schedule have seen them play shows almost everywhere around the world except Australia. Could it be it’s now been far too long for a return tour? Or could their lack of local dates be due to Martin Gore’s comments in 1994 that “Australia is where [they] are least successful”? Either way, it’s looking like fans holding out for a new Depeche Mode tour are set to be let down yet again.

Garth Brooks

His name is synonymous with country music, he’s one of the best-selling artists of all time, and he boasts an amazing 13 Grammy Awards, but one thing Garth Brooks is seemingly unable to achieve is another Australian tour. Performing down under for the first and only time in 1994 as part of his debut world tour, Brooks’ shows were a massive success, but once this international trek wrapped up, his tour dates were mainly confined to North America.

Even a stint as the Brisbane-born Chris Gaines wasn’t enough to convince Brooks to head back down to Australia. Of course, it’s not just Aussies who have been overlooked, with Brooks’ European fans not seeing him perform live since 1998 either, despite a five-date tour of Ireland being planned – and subsequently cancelled – in 2014. Currently, it seems as though Brooks has no intentions of performing outside of his native US, despite the pleas of his legions of fans.

Van Morrison

Years Since Last Tour: 35

It says a lot about an artist like Van Morrison when he’s been on the road with remarkable consistency for over 50 years. Unfortunately, the lion’s share of this touring has seen him perform predominantly in the United Kingdom and the US, with Australia’s sole exposure to his music occurring back in 1985.

Arguably one of the hardest-working musicians in the business today, Morrison’s aversion to coming down under seems to stem from the fact that Australia is so far away. In fact, Bluesfest’s Peter Noble claimed in 2014 that a friendly relationship with Morrison’s agent led to the discovery he’s effectively “wasting [his] time” attempting to lure the Northern Ireland icon down to our shores.

At 74 and with 11 tour dates under his belt this year already, it’s clear that Van Morrison has no plans on stopping touring, but if catching him live is on your bucket list, you might want to start looking at flights.

Years Since Last Tour: 39

When Tom Waits first visited Australia back in 1979, his visit was marred by his now-iconic appearance on  The Don Lane Show which Lane famously claimed “lit up our switchboard for about an hour after the show. And not all with compliments, either.” Two years later, Waits was back, and his month-long tour was just as memorable as the first, with tracks from his 1980 record  Heartattack and Vine on full display.

Since then, it’s been radio silence for his Australian fans, with close to 39 years passing since his last visit. Of course, it’s not as if promoters haven’t been trying to get Waits back down under, with Peter Noble revealing that his frequent attempts to procure the artist had become even less likely in recent years, with the now-70-year-old performer having effectively retired from touring following his last large-scale tour in 2008.

Though he’s not retired altogether (he’s still a semi-active actor ), it’s looking less and less likely that Waits will return to Australia, and even more likely that his diehard fans may have missed their chance to catch him on stage.

Years Since Last Tour: Never Toured

In all honesty, it’s almost amazing that anyone has managed to see Kate Bush live, really, let alone her Australian fans. Though she first rose to fame with the success of  The Kick Inside in 1978, both this record and her  Lionheart follow-up resulted in 1979’s Tour of Life; her sole live trek to date. In addition to TV performances throughout the US and Europe, these 28 shows were critically-acclaimed, but left Bush exhausted and unwillingly to take her music on the road.

Though one-off performances did follow, it was until 35 years later than fans got another chance to catch Bush performing live, with her 22-date Before the Dawn residency at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. Again, attracting critical acclaim and drawing fans from all over the world, these shows have been her last to date, and the ever-reclusive Bush has made no announcements regarding new music or further performances.

One of the most influential and highest-earning electronic acts in music history, Depeche Mode have enjoyed success for over 3 decades around the world.

Formed in the late 70’s in Essex, UK, the band transitioned from the early, ‘The Cure’ influenced work into synthesizer territory, inspired by the pioneering work of acts like ‘Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark’. The band settled on a name borrowed from a French fashion magazine and played their first gig in 1980 at their school.

The band began shopping their demo in the hope of securing a record deal, and after a verbal agreement with founder Daniel Miller, began an important partnership with fledgling label ‘Mute Records’. By their third single they had already appeared on Top of The Pops and landed a top 10 hit on the charts, all in the build up to their debut album ‘Speak & Spell’ which was released in 1981.

When founding member Vince Clark left later that year (going on to form Erasure amongst other things) the band held auditions and hired Alan Wilder who would go on to play a pivotal role as the band’s ‘Musical Director’ until his departure in the 90s.

By 1984 the band’s profile was building globally, first topping the charts in West Germany before packing out shows in the US. By the end of the 80s and moving into the 90s the band were an unstoppable global phenomenon with packed out stadium shows and platinum records.

Considered one of the most influential British acts of all the time, the band continue to release albums and with Mute records and pack shows all over.

Live reviews

The concert was amazing when it comes to the bands' performance. The guys are always amazing and I just love them! However, Eventimn really screwed up the whole organisation of the event. Since we were all informed beforehand, that no cash will be accepted as a method of payment inside the stadium, we had to buy tokens in advance. We waited 30 minutes in line for those, thank G we only bought 10 EUR worth of tokens and not more. Then we waited 1,5 hours in line for drinks in the pouring rain, while the band already started their performance. If we knew this would happenm we would have not bought the tokens in the first place and we could have enjoyed the whole concert, pouring rain or not. Also, until it was our turn in line, we learned that we could have paid cash as well which really pissed us off even more. The tokens were non-refundable so you either use them or throw your money away. But Depeche Mode was amazing, they even made us forget about the terrible weather conditions :) I just wish that we could have enjoyed the concert in full, without missing half of it dues to the poor organisation of Eventim.

Report as inappropriate

Depeche Mode is one of the biggest electronic acts in the world and seeing them live is an incredible, unforgettable experience for any electronic music lover. They have enjoyed international success for over 3 decades now and continue to tour with as much passion and energy as when the act first started performing in the early 80s and when the band consisted of school kids. Depeche Mode is a group of talented, unstoppable show men with natural charisma and stage presence. Their wide catalogue of musical successes range from synth pop classics to more rockier, edgier sounds. The band played all their old favourites from the past decades as well as their newer music. Even without lead songwriter Vincent Clarke at the fore, Depeche Mode are still very much worth seeing live. Dave Gahan continues to astound on vocals whilst Martin Gore wows on a whole range of instruments, switching mid show from guitar to keyboards and joining in on vocals. Andy Fletcher makes up the last of the band on keyboards. The show was packed out with fans of all ages cheering along to the legendary band.

Hard to believe, but I've been going to DM shows for nearly thirty years, now (wasn't till I got to college that I found people who liked the music I liked *and* were willing to travel for live shows). As usual, DM put out a great effort - they definitely aren't still touring just because they need the money (they aren't just phoning it in).

That said, you can tell they've been at this for nearly three decades. As noted above, you could tell they were putting the effort into it, you can also tell that Father Time is a bastard. Gahan doesn't quite have the lyrical power he once did and Gore is starting to sound a bit reedy. That said, the errors in singing and playing let you know that they were actually on stage, belting it out and not relying on enhancements to the sound. The show was heavy on "the classics" (songs from the 85-95 period) - though they did rearrange most of them - mostly to good effect.

Expensive show (as everything at the Verizon Center - or whatever the hell it's called now - always seem to be), but generally worth it.

That said, you can tell they've been at this for nearly four decades. As noted above, you could tell they were putting the effort into it, you can also tell that Father Time is a bastard.

I had a great time at the Depeche Mode Concert. I enjoyed the whole concert experience. I loved every song, and the videos played in the background. The band has high energy. The concert was packed from the very young to the very old. What amazed me is how the very young knew all the lyrics to every song the band played. Any wild antics was from the fans. Some of the fans wore some very outlandish outfits. I think the band members like the style of their fans. There is lots of fan participation. You have to attend one concert to experience their talent and the excitement. You won't be sorry. I am so looking forward to the next concert. The concert goes by too fast and you wonder where the time went. The only bad thing was the concert wasn't long enough and had to end. I wanted the concert to go on forever.

I say please just try one concert. Once you attend one of their concerts, you will become a fan for life.

A good concert in general.

The best part was the hit parade from the "good old days" at the final half hour to fourty minutes.

Coming to the concert area there was a challange with the logistics taking a very long time with checking everybody before entering.

People where cuing for a very long time.

The Arena it self is and was very good, had a lot of conveniences and everything you need really.

They have the possibility to play with the roof covered or open and they had the roof on for the concert. At the end the temperature and atmosphere was high.

Depeche Mode is an established band with lots of fans so the concert was sold out and good, not perfect because it lost momentum and the audience had problems interacting with the new releases an latest songs.

We did not make it in time to see the opening act so I can't review that.

Worth seeing every time but not superb.

I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Absolute fantastic, we were FOS and close enough to see them Face to Face - i love that they arrange every Song a little different and so i discover more and more favorite Songs. Sound was brilliant and not to loud , stunning dance performance of Dave and we all love Martin taking the lead vocal sometimes. All over all they really support the feeling that they are bythemself full of Joy and Happiness - made us sing all the time - play my favorite Song 'A Pain i used to know' andd all what i want to hear - if i could wish one Song for the next concert it would be'The things you said' or 'Waiting for the Night' - anyhow 'never let me down (again) - is one of the heights of the Concert - you know this waving thing - with the arms ...will see them again.

22 years later after having been introduced to Depeche Mode, I find myself blessed and fortunate to have been able to attend this concert. This is literally one of my so called "Kick the Bucket Concerts" of all time, that I absolutely ,and without a doubt had to attend to! It was everything I thought it would be and much more! They sound the same even after so many years. It had been at least 16 years since I had been to the Cynthia Mitchell Woods Pavilion and the entire night was a blast! Good, sound quality, light show and the Lawn area does bring back fond memories of my previous times! If you all have never seen Depeche Mode live in concert, I recommend you! The venue and the experience will be memorable for years to come!

Depeche Mode - RheinEnergie Stadium - Cologne -

05.06.2017 - The show was great! Dave was in a great mood and his voice was perfect. Martin was emotional and perfect, as usual. The sound was good, but I also had a great place - in front of the sound check booth. After the bad experience from Esprit Arena in Dusseldorf, I will always try to stay close to the sound guy :). The location was great, just a big problem with the toilets - not enough and they also closed part of them before the end of the show and that created a chaos. As usual, the parking and getting out of the area takes long time after the show - but I guess it is normal. A draft beer was 5 EUR, but also a glass of water. Overall, it was a great show!

Depeche Mode - Manchester Arena fri 17/11/17

First time I've seen Depeche Mode live. It won't be the last I hope. I remember them from way back when, early 80's I think, yes I'm old!! The band are amazing, sound great & look great. Dave never stops moving around the stage, wish I had half of his energy!! They performed a mix of songs but mostly new ones from SPIRIT the new album. If you haven't got it yet, why not? Go out and get it!! But then towards the end of the show out came the crowds old favourites, but still sounding fresh to this day, and there was a good old sing a long!

Yes I will definitely go to see them again in the future. Highly recommended.

Depeche Mode Execute A Masterclass On the Memento Mori Tour

The duo of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore proved legendary, capping a week of festivities in Los Angeles with a stellar showing that underscored the band's iconic catalog and undisputed legacy.

Trekking in support of their 15th studio album, Memento Mori , perennial hitmakers Depeche Mode have spent nearly all of 2023 spanning the globe, completing three international legs of their Memento Mori World Tour. In addition to the significance of the run supporting such a landmark release, the tour took on the added magnitude of being the first outing since the tragic passing of beloved collaborator, Andy Fletcher. 

Wrapping up the most recent leg of their triumphant globe trot, Martin Gore and Dave Gahan held court for what became a full week of DM festivities in Los Angeles - first for two sold out nights at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, then a sold out weekend at Crypto.com Arena in Downtown Los Angeles.

The homecoming of sorts even included the city christening at Los Angeles City Hall where local officials declared December 13th, 2023 to officially be Depeche Mode Day - marking a new tradition and underscoring the band's longstanding relationship with the City of Angels. 

As for the band's first night at Crypto.com Arena, there is an element of pageantry that vaults Depeche Mode into a category all their own. Opening with selections from their latest album, singles in "My Cosmos Is Mine" and "Wagging Tongue" offer evidence that the tandem of Gahan and Gore dare to explore new creative terrain as songwriters and composers. Adding in "Speak to Me" and "Ghosts Again" - Depeche Mode managed to integrate new classics into their set of greatest hits seamlessly, with songs new and familiar prompting the same pop from the capacity arena. 

Among some of the greatest entries in the lexicon of pop, the quality of Depeche Mode's catalog is undisputedly evergreen. Sourcing singles from various eras of the band, essentials like "It's No Good", "Policy of Truth", an anthemic rendition of "Everything Counts", "Black Celebration" and an emotive "World In My Eyes" dedicated to the memory of Andy Fletcher resonated as colossal - invoking a sense of ceremony with Gore and Gahan at the helm. 

Arguably the band's most effective selection on the evening, Gahan proved commanding on "Stripped" - compelling an entire arena to remain fixed, put their phones down and bask in the glow that radiated from the stage and blanketed the arena. 

However, the set wasn't all pomp and circumstance. In fact, one of the most memorable instances on the night was an impromptu one, stemming from a fight in the crowd that forced Gahan to halt in the middle of "Never Let Me Down Again". Crouching down to address the situation, Gahan proved eternally cool asserting his voice of reason, urging security to calm down and defusing the situation with a good ribbing,  There’s enough shit going on in the world without you guys.”

The crowd roared, then roared louder when the band restarted the track from the top. Completing their victory lap with "Personal Jesus" it was apparent that the audience was bearing witness to something legendary. Depeche Mode remain definitive and this night, was testament to that.

The Cult announce 40th anniversary UK tour for winter 2024

The dates conclude with a stop at London’s Royal Albert Hall

The Cult have announced details of a UK tour, which will celebrate their 40th year as a band. Find upcoming dates and ticket details below.

Announced today (April 16), the shows are set for later this year and will see the iconic ‘80s rock group perform in 10 cities across the country. The dates come in celebration of a huge milestone for Ian Astbury and co., as this year marks four decades since the band formed as we recognise them today – swapping their name from the original title ‘Death Cult’ into ‘The Cult’.

“Following up from the great energy of Death Cult 8323 shows, I’m looking forward to bringing that sense of celebration of the band’s music, and the communion with our fans, to Cult 8424,” guitarist Billy Duffy said of the new announcement. “CFFC. Let the ceremony commence!”

The shows all take place this winter, and kick off on October 21 with an opening night at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester. This is followed the next night with a gig at Swansea Arena (22), followed by stops in Edinburgh (24), Manchester (25), Bristol (27), York (29) and Newcastle (30).

The final run of the new tour dates will take place in the first week of November; including a slot at Guildhall in Portsmouth on the 1st, and a show at Civic Hall in Wolverhampton the following night. The dates wrap up with a closing show at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London on November 4.

Tickets go on sale this Friday (April 19) at 10am BST. Visit here to get tickets and find a full list of tour dates below.

The Cult 2024 tour dates are:

OCTOBER 21 – Leicester, De Montfort Hall 22– Swansea, Swansea Arena    24 – Edinburgh, Usher Hall  25 – Manchester, O2 Apollo  27 – Bristol, Beacon     29 – York, Barbican 30 – Newcastle, O2 City Hall      

NOVEMBER: 1 – Portsmouth, Guildhall 2 – Wolverhampton, Civic Hall 4 – London, Royal Albert Hall

The dates for 2024 come following a tour the band embarked on last year, celebrating 40 years since their first formation under the name ‘Death Cult’ .

Taking place around the UK, Ireland and the US, the tour was called ‘Death Cult 8323’ and saw Duffy and Astbury return to play iconic venues they previously performed in at the start of their career.

The live shows focused on Death Cult and their eponymous EPs, and also boasted a setlist that spanned “the three phases of the band, from Southern Death Cult, to Death Cult, and The Cult’s first two albums: ‘Dreamtime’ (1984) and ‘Love’ (1985).”

More recently, Billy Duffy joined Johnny Marr on stage in Frome last summer to play tracks by The Smiths and Depeche Mode .

The on-stage appearance was the latest of the multiple times the two musicians have joined forces, as they both have a long history of playing music together – stemming back to their adolescent years.
