Depeche Mode - Global Spirit Tour

Global Spirit, the group s 18th tour, marks their first live performances in nearly three years. The group s last outing, the Delta Machine Tour, brought out nearly 2.5 million fans at sold-out shows throughout Europe and North America, and was one of 2013 s most spectacular, successful tours.

Having sold more than 100 million discs and played live in front of over 30 million fans around the world, the band refuses to rest on its laurels, despite countless artists citing them as inspiration and critics hailing them as having opened new avenues; they are becoming more, not less, important as time goes by. The album Spirit (the group s 14th studio album), released in March 2017, and the Global Spirit Tour look set to continue the British group s story of musical innovation, critical acclaim and commercial success.
