Depeche Mode announced a Smoothie King Center concert in New Orleans as part of a world tour called the Memento Mori Tour, which will support their forthcoming studio album of the same name due March 24. The New Orleans date is set for October 7.
The band has enjoyed a recent surge in popularity following their song “Never Let Me Down Again” being featured in the the premiere of HBO TV show and video game adaptation, The Last of Us. According to Billboard, the song tripled in U.S. streams overnight going from 26,000 streams January 15 to 83,000 streams, January 16. Now, the track has reached over 50 million streams on Spotify. The ‘8os mean trouble.
Memento Mori is the band’s first album since the death of founding member Andy “Fletch” Fletcher. They recently released a new single titled “Ghosts Again” to promote the upcoming album.
The tour begins March 23 with a limited North American run featuring stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Chicago’s United Center and Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. The band will then embark on their European stadium tour on May 16, with noted stops including the Stade de France in Paris, Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, Milan’s San Siro Stadium and London’s Twickenham Stadium.
Following the end of the European summer run, the newly added tour dates bring Depeche Mode back to North America in the fall, with the tour stopping in Mexico City at Foro Sol before returning to the US and Canada. Newly announced tour stops include Austin’s Moody Center, Vancouver’s Rogers Arena, additional New York City shows at Madison Square Garden and Barclay’s Center, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena and more, and concluding with a multi-night run in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum and Crypto.com Arena.
Pre-sales will kick off with a fan pre-sale Tuesday, February 21, with the general public on sale beginning Friday, February 24 at 10 a.m. local time. For further information on the Depeche Mode tour routing and ticket on-sale dates, visit this website.
