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]
