Listen to concerts, setlist & new album now

Depeche Mode are touring again for the first time since 2018 and after the death of keyboardist Andy Fletcher. There will also be several concerts in Germany. Advance ticket sales started in October and the concerts are more or less completely sold out. The new album has now been released and the tour has started in the USA. What is the set list for the Depeche Mode concerts?

Shortly after the start of advance sales, a few additional concerts for the Depeche Mode performances in Germany in 2023 were announced. The events are now in Germany but sold out. Tickets are no longer available through the official sales channels at Ticketmaster & Co. Only occasionally do tickets appear in the system. At Eventim you can access the official resale platform Fansale if you are still looking for a ticket.

Depeche Mode: New album 2023 – that’s what “Memento Mori” sounds like

The new Depeche Mode album entitled “Memento Mori” (“Remember Death”) will be released at the end of March 2023, just in time for the start of the tour. Although the name might suggest otherwise, the album title was chosen before bandmate Andy Fletcher died. The songs were also recorded with the former keyboardist. You can listen to the new album stream here:

The last studio album “Spirit” was released six years ago.

The concerts are more or less sold out, there are only a few “platinum” tickets left at Ticketmaster. You should be careful with platforms like Viagogo or Ticketbande. Here you can possibly also find tickets for the Depeche Mode appearances in Germany. However, these are not official dealers, only second providers. The tickets here are often much more expensive than in normal advance sales, and there are always reports of problems, for example with admission. Ed Sheeran even explicitly points out not to buy tickets for his concerts there and Rammstein has already gone to court against Viagogo.
