Depeche Mode fans, rejoice. The legendary British electronic band has officially announced their return with a brand-new studio album and an epic world tour set to begin in 2025 and continue well into 2026. After months of speculation and cryptic teasers on social media, the group has finally confirmed what fans have been eagerly waiting for — fresh music and a globe-spanning tour that promises to be one of their most ambitious yet.
The new album, which remains untitled as of now, will be Depeche Mode’s fifteenth studio release and their first since 2023’s Memento Mori. The band has hinted that the upcoming album will be a bold fusion of their classic synth-driven sound with modern electronic textures. Speaking about the project, lead singer Dave Gahan said, “We’ve been working hard in the studio, and this album is really about moving forward while honoring what Depeche Mode has always stood for — emotional depth, atmosphere, and connection.”
To accompany the release, Depeche Mode is launching a massive world tour that will begin in spring 2025. The first leg of the tour is expected to start in Europe with shows in major cities including London, Paris, Berlin, and Milan, before heading to North America in late summer. A second leg will roll out in early 2026, with dates scheduled across South America, Asia, and Australia.
Martin Gore also shared his excitement about hitting the road again, stating, “There’s a new energy in the band. We’re looking forward to sharing this music live with our fans around the world. The tour is going to be an emotional and electric experience.”
With early ticket demand already expected to be high, fans are advised to keep an eye out for pre-sale announcements. The album’s first single is rumored to drop before the end of this year, offering a taste of what’s to come.
Depeche Mode’s 2025–2026 return marks a major moment not only for their devoted followers but also for the music world at large. Their enduring influence, innovative sound, and passionate performances prove once again that Depeche Mode is far from finished — they’re just getting started.
