Depeche Mode has released their 15th studio album, Memento Mori and announced a 2023 world tour, their first live shows in five years, and first since the passing of founding member Andy “Fletch” Fletcher, who died on May 26, 2022, at the age of 60. For those wondering, memento mori translates into “remember that you must die,” or a reminder of one’s mortality.
In support of Memento Mori, the band will kick off an international tour on March 23, 2023, in Sacramento, California, with limited dates in North America before continuing on into Europe on May 16 in Amsterdam and then coming back to America on September 29, 2023 to play Austin, TX and continuing through December where they will conclude in Los Angeles on December 15, 2023.
