UPDATE (Feb. 16, 2023): Depeche Mode have announced an additional 29 North American tour dates, all of which can be viewed further down the page. The group also released the new single “Ghosts Again” last week and you can listen to that here.
For those wondering, Depeche Mode will continue after the death of longtime keyboardist Andy Fletcher, who died on May 26 of this year. During a press event to announce their upcoming plans, the duo of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore revealed that a new album is en route and that the band will return to the road in 2023.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band have titled their 15th studio album, Memento Mori, with the album expected to arrive next spring, though a firm release date was not revealed as of yet. However, the album’s release is expected to coincide with the band’s forthcoming return to the road for their first shows in five years.
The two musicians had teased the possibility of their future, sharing a photo of themselves in the studio following Fletcher’s death earlier this year. But with the album announce and tour news, it’s official that they will push forward.
Martin Gore commented, “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.”
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.”
Depeche Mode will start their touring in the U.S. with a limited series of North American dates, kicking things off on March 23. From there, the group will head back to Europe for a summer stadium tour. All dates, cities and venues can be seen below, and ticketing info can be found via their website.
