Tour Notes:

Depeche Mode’s “Global Spirit” tour, in support of the band’s 14th album, Spirit, drew big crowds on both sides of the Atlantic, starting with 1.5 million concert-goers in 32 cities in Europe (from May 5-July 23) before the band continued its marathon trek across North America (from Aug. 23-Oct. 27). The band then returned to Europe and the U.K. for yet another run of shows that started Nov. 15 and continues to late February before voyaging on to Mexico and South America in March. More dates in Europe have been set for the summer of 2018.
