One day we’ll all be ghosts, singing Depeche Mode in the current single “Ghosts Again”. But one can certainly make one’s peace with this thought, as light as the piece sounded at the concert in Munich’s Olympic Stadium in June. Especially since at least the British band itself has further postponed their dissolution. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore have just announced that they will be extending their “Memento Mori” tour by 29 dates. This means that the faithful followers of the synth-pop superstars will soon have the opportunity to see them again in four German cities: in Berlin (February 13 and 15), in Hamburg (February 17), in Cologne (February 3). . and April 5) and in between in Munich.
On March 7th, Gahan, Gore and their concert musicians can be experienced in a comparatively intimate setting. After the performance in the sold-out Olympic Stadium, this time it’s time to go inside to the Olympic Hall with around 13,000 seats.
A large rush for the tickets is to be expected; According to promoter Live Nation, the 110-day tour is well on the way to becoming the band’s most successful concert tour. There are different ways to get tickets. In turn, you can try it at MagentaMusik priority tickets (July 13, 10 a.m.), im Ticketmaster pre-sale (July 14, 10 a.m.) and in general presale (from Monday, July 17, 10 a.m.).
Thus, the heroes of dark romantic pop continue to haunt the arenas without their co-founder Andrew Fletcher, who died a year ago. According to the SZ critic, the dance of old hits (“Walking In My Shoes”) and songs from the current album is “a wonderful-sounding art exhibition” that makes the surging masses happy: “… one becomes light, floating, happy” . The journal Rolling Stone reports “a breathtaking celebration of life and music”.
