Depeche Mode have announced a new album, Memento Mori, and accompanying tours of North America and Europe. The follow-up to their 2017 LP, Spirit, is out on an as-yet-unannounced date next spring, via Columbia. The North American shows kick off in Sacramento, California, in March 2023, and take in a handful of cities in the United States and Canada, culminating in a Madison Square Garden concert on April 14. A huge arena tour of Europe follows. Check out the dates below.
Memento Mori is the band’s first album since the death in May of founding member Andy “Fletch” Fletcher. Martin Gore said of the album, “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.”
