Depeche Mode concert in Bucharest takes place on July 26, at National Arena – Arena Nationala. This is the third time the band returns to Romania. The concert is part of the European Tour to promote DM’s latest album, Memento Mori, but the band will also play the songs that made it famous.
The Memento Mori tour will be Depeche Mode’s 19th and first in more than five years. The most recent and extended Depeche Mode tour – „Global Spirit Tour” (2017-2018) – over 130 concerts – brought the band in front of over 3 million fans in Europe and North America. Romania was among the lucky countries, with a live show in Cluj-Napoca, organized by Emagic in 2017, at the Cluj Arena.
Memento Mori will be Depeche Mode’s 15th studio album and the follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed Spirit, which reached number 1 in 11 territories and top 5 in over 20 other countries. Memento Mori will be released as a world premiere in the spring of 2023 via Columbia Records.
With sales of over 100 million records and concerts in front of over 35 million fans worldwide, Depeche Mode remains a reference name with significant influence in the industry, and their music continues to evolve, being an unforgettable inspiration for fans, critics and artists alike.
The album and the Memento Mori tour represent the newest chapter of an enduring and unparalleled legacy, and fans from Romania are lucky to see the band playing live after so much time.
