Why see Depeche Mode?
The Iconic Depeche Mode Live
New Wave icons Depeche Mode rose to prominence in the 80s with their brooding, dance floor-filling electro-pop, but became modern mainstays due to a constant output of their unique brand of heady and dark synth rock. Now Dave Gahan and Martin Gore return to touring after the death of Andy Fletcher, with a brand new album, Memento Mori.
Combining their analogue beginnings with a digital sensibility, Depeche Mode continue to evolve with each new album, with Memento Mori being no exception. Known for their eye-catching and theatrical shows, the band delves into their considerable back catalogue of almost two hundred songs with aplomb, embellishing hits like 'Enjoy The Silence' and 'Personal Jesus' with arresting video footage and light shows.

Amazing!
I’ve been a DM fan for 30+ years and this was surprisingly my first time seeing them play, and we were not disappointed. They played a good mix of old and new-they are promoting their new album so obviously they will play songs off the Memento album. While the songs from their new album are a bit slower it was still enjoyable to see them played live. They played 23 songs and only six were from memento album, not sure why all the reviews are saying they didn’t play older songs….they did….a good mix off all albums actually. They sounded great, it was a full house, everyone stood and sang the whole time-people were not leaving, were engaged and having a blast. Dave and Martin performed very well, Dave was as usual great on stage. They’re in their 60’s so obviously their sound and stage performance is probably different compared to them playing at previous concerts-duh. Not sure why all the negative reviews are -stop complaining and enjoy the music from a group that has stayed tight since the 80’s! ... Read more

Massive performance - 6 Stars
I can’t count how many times I’ve seen Depeche Mode… This show was off the charts! The energy, the arrangements, absolutely fantastic. The tribute to their fallen band member was touching, the imagery powerful and moving. After 40 years they continue to not disappoint. Walking In My Shoes, Stripped, Question of Lust, Everything Counts, I Feel You and even the new Ghosts Again were all excellent. Never Let Me Down Again was epic and showed that the bank still has it after all these years. Well done, gentlemen … well done. ... Read more

Depeche Mode
The show started slowly with the crowd somewhat
subdued.You could tell the band were aware that the
crowd was hesitant about getting into the whole show.
It wasn't until halfway through that the crowd started
to give something back to Gahan as he tried to stir
them up. If you watch any of their other concerts that
were filmed you can see the crowds willingly
participate in everything the band has to offer but not
so at this last show. It took a lot of cajoling from Gahan
to bring them along for the ride but towards the end
we were all willing passengers on the Depeche Mode
caravan. ... Read more
