Why see Depeche Mode?
The Iconic Depeche Mode Live
New Wave icons Depeche Mode rose to prominence in the 80s with their brooding, dance floor-filling electro-pop, but became modern mainstays due to a constant output of their unique brand of heady and dark synth rock. Now Dave Gahan and Martin Gore return to touring after the death of Andy Fletcher, with a brand new album, Memento Mori.
Combining their analogue beginnings with a digital sensibility, Depeche Mode continue to evolve with each new album, with Memento Mori being no exception. Known for their eye-catching and theatrical shows, the band delves into their considerable back catalogue of almost two hundred songs with aplomb, embellishing hits like 'Enjoy The Silence' and 'Personal Jesus' with arresting video footage and light shows.

DEPECHE MODE AT THE ACC WAS AWESOME!!!
We started the night out for dinner and drinks at the nearby Loose Moose (which
was awesome and fun). Then we walked done the block to the Air Canada Center.
We had to find our way up to the 3rd floor where we quickly found a booth to buy a
requisite t-shirt, and another few drinks. (Yes, the 3rd floor! Thanks, in no part, to
the bots on TicketMaster.) We got into our seats in time to enjoy a few of Warpaint's
warmup (great songs, ladies!), then onto the main event. The crowd was really
revved up as Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher entered the stage, and the sound at the ACC
was spectacular! The speakers hanging from the ceiling almost looked organic, and
the digital sound was crisp and mind-blowing! I've seen all of Depeche Mode's
concerts in Toronto since their Violator tour show at the CNE Grand, but this was by
far the best of all of them. I want to wish David, Martin, and Andrew a hearty
Canadian "THANK-YOU!" for all the years you've put into entertaining us! We loved it!
Keep it up!! ... Read more

Massive performance - 6 Stars
I can’t count how many times I’ve seen Depeche Mode… This show was off the charts! The energy, the arrangements, absolutely fantastic. The tribute to their fallen band member was touching, the imagery powerful and moving. After 40 years they continue to not disappoint. Walking In My Shoes, Stripped, Question of Lust, Everything Counts, I Feel You and even the new Ghosts Again were all excellent. Never Let Me Down Again was epic and showed that the bank still has it after all these years. Well done, gentlemen … well done. ... Read more

Another excellent show!
The lads gave. It 100% last night. New material
sounded fantastic. Shame about Toronto
crowds. Lamest bunch of fence-sitting duds in
the planet. Reading the the bitching and
moaning in theres reviews pretty much sums it
up. These folks weren’t interested in seeing a
live show. They wanted a high-school reunion.
If they spent half as much time listening as
they have complaining about the set list, they’d
have have been a part of something magical.
Instead, they sat like stuck, codgy lumps -
waiting to relive their bad-80’s hair fantasies.
...and then shuffled home to write negative
reviews that only reflect on their own inability
to age with grace and passion.
Here’s a tip: Don’t come next time, ya bunch of
washed-up, spoon-fed, low-energy having
whiners. You bring nothing to the table and
you’re an embarrassment to our city.
Fantastic show! Can’t wait for a new album and
another tour. The lads always bring it. Setlist,
sound, stage design and delivery, all A+.
Thanks again boys!!!! ... Read more
