It has been known for a few days that Depeche Mode will be giving a “secret concert” in Munich as part of the forthcoming release of their new album “Memento Mori” on February 19th. Of course, where the concert will take place also remains a mystery — though there are some clues as to where Dave Gahan and Martin Gore might be performing.
As the fan page “Depeche Mode Monument” reports in a Facebook post, “indications are increasing” that the secret gig will take place in Studio 1 of the broadcasting center of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation. There is room for around 400 to 500 people – a nice setting for a comparatively intimate concert by the synth-pop legends. It remains to be seen whether these speculations will come true.
On February 11, 2023, the band ended their nearly five-year live hiatus. As part of Italy’s Sanremo Festival, Dave Gahan and Martin Gore made their first appearance since the death of Depeche Mode founding member Andy Fletcher. You can see it all here.
