Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2020 inductees Depeche Mode announce a new 15th studio album Memento Mori and a world tour in support of that forthcoming record, for 2023.

Having sold more than 100 million records and played to more than 35 million fans worldwide, Depeche Mode remains an ever-evolving and singularly influential musical force. An indelible inspiration to fans, critics and artists alike, they continues to forge ahead, with the Memento Mori album and tour representing the opening of the newest chapter of a peerless and ongoing legacy.

Memento Mori will be the band’s follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed album Spirit, which reached #1 in 11 territories, charting in the Top 5 in more than 20 others. The new album will be released worldwide in Spring 2023 via Columbia Records.

“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,” comments on the upcoming release Martin Gore.

“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!” adds Dave Gahan.

The Memento Mori Tour will be Depeche Mode’s 19th tour and their first in over five years. The band’s most recent outing, the 2017-2018 Global Spirit Tour was its longest to date and was one of the year’s highest grossing tours, with the band playing to more than 3 million fans over the course of 130 shows across Europe and North America.

Presented by Live Nation, 2023 tour will begin with a special, limited series of North American arena dates. Starting on March 23rd, it will feature stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Chicago’s United Center, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, among others. The band will then begin their European stadium leg on May 16th, with noted stops including the Stade de France in Paris, Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, Milan’s San Siro Stadium, London’s Twickenham Stadium and more.
