Memento Mori World Tour


The Memento Mori World Tour was a worldwide concert tour by the English electronic band Depeche Mode in support of the band's fifteenth studio album, Memento Mori. The tour began on 23 March 2023 and concluded on 8 April 2024. This marked the first concert tour not to feature keyboardist Andy Fletcher, who died in 2022.
The tour was first announced on 4 October 2022, along with the Memento Mori album announcement at an event in Berlin. A third leg of the tour for North America was announced on 16 February 2023, with 34 additional shows.
On 10 July 2023, a second European leg of the tour has been announced with 29 new dates in indoor arenas.
The 21, 23 and 25 September 2023 shows in Mexico City were recorded for the film Depeche Mode: M. Directed by Fernando Frías. The film follows the band during its Mexico City stop on the Memento Mori Tour, which saw them play to more than 3 million fans at 112 shows around the world. It was released in the United Kingdom and the United States on October 28, 2025.

Background

On 29 September 2022, Depeche Mode took to their social media channels to post a teaser of an upcoming announcement, reading "Berlin 4.10.22". On 4 October 2022, a special event was held at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin hosted by Barbara Charone, and was streamed live on YouTube. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore were present to discuss details regarding their upcoming world tour to support the new album.
Two shows on the tour were part of the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona and Madrid, which Depeche Mode headlined on Fridays 2 June and 9 June 2023.
The band performed at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on 7 October 2023, nearly 30 years to the day after Gahan’s near-death experience in the city when he suffered a heart attack at Lakefront Arena during the Devotional Tour.
"Black Celebration" and "Policy of Truth" made their tour debuts at New York City's Barclays Center on 21 October 2023.
Performances of "World in My Eyes" on this tour were dedicated to Fletcher, as it was his favourite Depeche Mode song. During the song photos of Fletcher were shown on the video screen, and Dave Gahan moved to Fletcher's usual position on stage left at the end of the track.
