Depeche Mode concert chronology

The Memento Mori World Tour[1] was a worldwide concert tour by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode in support of the group's fifteenth studio album, Memento Mori. The tour began on 23 March 2023 and concluded on 8 April 2024. This marked the first concert tour to not feature keyboardist Andy Fletcher, who died in 2022.

The tour was first announced on 4 October 2022, along with the Memento Mori album announcement at an event in Berlin.[2] A third leg of the tour for North America was announced on 16 February 2023, with 34 additional shows.[3] On 10 July 2023, a second European leg of the tour has been announced with 29 new dates in indoor arenas.[4]

Background

[edit]

On 29 September 2022, Depeche Mode took to their social media channels to post a teaser of an upcoming announcement, reading "Berlin 4.10.22".[5] On 4 October 2022, a special event was held at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin hosted by Barbara Charone,[6] and was streamed live on YouTube.[7] Dave Gahan and Martin Gore were present to discuss details regarding their upcoming world tour to support the new album.[2]

Two shows on the tour were part of the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona and Madrid, which Depeche Mode headlined on Fridays 2 June and 9 June 2023.[8]

"Black Celebration" and "Policy of Truth" made their tour debuts at New York City's Barclays Center on 21 October 2023.[9]

The band have performed the song "World in My Eyes" on every show in memory of Fletcher, due to this being his favourite song.[10]
