BREAKING: Depeche Mode Former Members Set to Reunite for Tribute Tour.. See more details
As of January 29, 2025, there is no official announcement regarding a reunion tour featuring former members of Depeche Mode. The band’s current lineup consists of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, following the passing of founding member Andy Fletcher in 2022. Former members Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder have not indicated any plans to rejoin the group for a tribute tour.
Depeche Mode recently concluded their “Memento Mori World Tour,” which spanned from March 2023 to April 2024, supporting their fifteenth studio album, “Memento Mori.” This tour marked the band’s first without Andy Fletcher and was well-received by fans worldwide.
While there is no reunion tour planned, several tribute bands continue to celebrate Depeche Mode’s legacy:
Strangelove: The Depeche Mode Experience: Based in Los Angeles, Strangelove delivers a career-spanning, pitch-perfect “best of” concert that transports listeners through time, touching on key points in Depeche Mode’s illustrious career. They employ authentic vintage synthesizers and samplers to recreate the classic sounds of Depeche Mode’s discography.
The Devout: Emerging from the UK’s tribute scene, The Devout faithfully recreate the dark electronica and post-punk elements of Depeche Mode. Their performances include colossal anthems with production values matching those of the original band. The band members include Barclay Quarton (lead vocals), Keith Trigwell (keys and production), Reza Udhin (vocals, guitars, keys), and Glen Wisbey (keys, production).
These tribute acts offer fans an opportunity to experience the music and energy of Depeche Mode’s live performances, keeping the spirit of the band alive in the absence of a reunion tour.
In summary, while the idea of former Depeche Mode members reuniting for a tribute tour is intriguing, there are currently no official plans for such an event. Fans can continue to enjoy the band’s rich musical legacy through existing tribute acts and the enduring influence of their extensive discography.
