We “just can’t get enough” of Depeche Mode.
Thankfully, after a five-year hiatus from touring, the English synth-pop veterans are returning to the road for ten concerts on the North American leg of their stadium “Memento Mori Tour.”
That includes their final U.S. stop at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on April 14.
The tour, which shares a name with Depeche Mode’s upcoming new album, is also the group’s first after two monumental events for them— their 2020 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the untimely passing of keyboardist Andy “Fletch” Fletcher.
And although they aren’t going to replace Fletch, they will soldier on.
“The one thing I can do is make music with Martin (Gore),” frontman Dave Gahan told NME. He continued, “…hopefully that brings people together.”
So, if you need to “reach out and touch space,” follow our lead. We’ve got everything you need to know about the tour below.

Depeche Mode new music
2023’s “Memento Mori” album is the group’s first since 2017’s “Spirit.”
In 2020, Gahan and Gore began writing music remotely for the upcoming record, and a lot of the material they penned reflected the dour feeling of the time— the album’s title translates to the heavy axiom “remember you must die.”
Their collaborative style was also a product of the quarantine era.
The two would send song ideas back and forth. In an interview with Billboard, Gore shared, “I played guitar and sort of sang on my iPhone,” and Gahan “sent it back with his angelic voice.”
At the time of publication, the group is yet to release any music from “Memento Mori.”
