Depeche Mode have announced details of their new album ‘Spirit’ – along with a world tour, a headline set at Nos Alive festival and a show at London Stadium.
Next Spring, the synth-pop heroes will release their 14th studio album and the follow-up to 2013’s ‘Delta Machine’ in early Spring. Announcing the record and tour at a livestreamed event from Milan, the band revealed that it was an ‘incredible sounding recording’ produced by James Ford.
“We’re exceptionally proud of Spirit’s sound and energy, and we’re excited to get back on tour to share it with our fans around the world,” said frontman Dave Gahan.
