-- For the first time in nine years, Depeche Mode will tour
Latin America, bringing their
stunning live show to fans who have not seen the band since 2009's
Tour of the Universe.
"We're incredibly excited to return to Latin America," says lead singer Dave Gahan. "We weren't able to see our fans
there on the last tour, so we knew we had to visit this time."
Following this summer's massive European summer stadium tour and
the upcoming fall tour of North
America, the band will continue to extend the Global
Spirit Tour with two weeks of stadium shows across Latin America in March
2018. The tour will begin on March
11th in Mexico City,
continue through Bogota,
Lima, Santiago and Buenos
Aires, before wrapping up in Sao
Paulo on March 27th. The Latin
American tour is being promoted by Live Nation, continuing their
global partnership with Depeche Mode. Details on all ticket on-sale
dates will follow.
The Global Spirit Tour supports the band's 14th studio
album, Spirit, released March
17th via Columbia Records. The album's powerful and
timely first single, "Where's The Revolution," has been
well-received by critics and fans alike, lauded as a strong "return
to form" for Depeche Mode. Spirit has already
garnered critical acclaim, with MOJO calling it "blow by
blow…Depeche Mode's best album in years."
