Depeche Mode and Hublot Join Together Again For Charity - Supporting The Conservation Collective
posted: March 23, 2023

Since the first partnership in 2010, Hublot and Depeche Mode have collaborated a number of times to support causes that both care deeply about. The past partnerships in support of The Teenage Cancer Trust and charity: water raised funds and awareness for childhood cancer research, and brought clean water to developing communities around the world. With this new partnership, the focus becomes the environment - making tangible change toward sustainability, waste reduction, and environmental clean-up.

On the Memento Mori tour, Hublot and Depeche Mode are proud to announce they'll be supporting and raising funds for The Conservation Collective, a UK-based environmental charity. The Conservation Collective are a fast-growing global network of 20 local foundations funding inspiring and effective grassroots initiatives to protect the environment, restore nature, and safeguard against climate change. The Conservation Collective's network of local foundations turbocharge action against plastic pollution by supporting community-driven projects, galvanizing community clean-ups, improving local waste management systems, and encouraging businesses and consumers to reduce overall plastic usage.

In addition, in conjunction with Live Nation's Green Nation team, Depeche Mode and Hublot will also support programs on tour and at the venues focusing on limiting use of single-use plastics, improved recycling, food and other waste reduction, and other sustainability-related initiatives.

We're just getting started, but we're excited to provide further updates on what we're able to achieve together with Hublot and The Conservation Collective on tour and around the world.

Depeche Mode - "Ghosts Again". First Single & Video From Forthcoming Album Out Now. Memento Mori To Be Released March 24, 2023
posted: February 9, 2023 (updated February 9, 2023)

Depeche Mode has confirmed the release date of its eagerly anticipated new album, Memento Mori, which will be released March 24 via Columbia Records.

Memento Mori's arrival is heralded by today's release of first single "Ghosts Again." Having been stealthily previewed in Berlin in October at the Memento Mori launch event, "Ghosts Again" is nothing short of classic Depeche Mode: Evocative Dave Gahan lyrical imagery including "wasted feelings, broken meanings… a place to hide the tears we cry" and a hypnotic Martin Gore guitar figure atop an uplifting, optimistic groove. "Ghosts Again" is available now across digital platforms, and as an instant grab with pre-saves and pre-orders of Memento Mori - which is available for pre-order now on 2LP vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital.

"To me, 'Ghosts Again' just captures this perfect balance of melancholy and joy," commented Gahan. Gore added, "It's not often that we record a song that I just don't get sick of listening to - I'm excited to be able to share it."

"Ghosts Again" has been visually interpreted by longtime Depeche Mode collaborator and Memento Mori album cover and artwork designer Anton Corbijn. Corbijn's sublime rendering of the song in stark yet rich monochrome tones can be seen below.

Memento Mori is Depeche Mode's 15th studio album and its first as a two-piece lineup of Gahan and Gore, following co-founder Andrew "Fletch" Fletcher's tragic passing in 2022. Produced by James Ford, with additional production work by Marta Salogni, Memento Mori's gestation took place during the early stages of the Covid pandemic, resulting in themes inspired directly by that period. The album's 12 tracks chart a vast expanse of moods and textures, from its ominous opening to its closing resolve—running the gamut from paranoia and obsession to catharsis and joy, and hitting myriad points between. The complete track listing for Memento Mori is:

My Cosmos Is Mine
Wagging Tongue
Ghosts Again
Don't Say You Love Me
My Favourite Stranger
Soul With Me
Caroline's Monkey
Before We Drown
People Are Good
Always You
Never Let Me Go
Speak To Me

Depeche Mode Confirm Support For Upcoming North American Dates
posted: February 7, 2023 (updated February 7, 2023)

Depeche Mode has confirmed support for first leg of the eagerly anticipated Memento Mori World Tour. The tour's first leg of dates will be opened by Kelly Lee Owens, with the exception of New York's Madison Square Garden, which will feature support from Stella Rose & The Dead Language.

Wales-born London-bred musician and producer Kelly Lee Owens' unique melding of electronic music's coolness and warmth has built her an eclectic following of fans, critics, and fellow musicians including St. Vincent, Bjork, John Cale, and of course Depeche Mode. With vocals as confident and captivating as her beats, Owens has built a formidable solo discography that includes the albums Kelly Lee Owens, Inner Song, and her latest record LP.8, released in spring 2022 to unanimous critical praise, including Clash magazine's lauding its "giant leap in her evolution as an artist, continuing to build on an ever-growing discography of limitless promise"

Darkly poetic and industrial leaning, Stella Rose and her band The Dead Language have graced venues all over their native New York City and Brooklyn. With a confidence that belies the band's relative newness, The Dead Language has quickly built a distinctive sonic and visual identity on the foundation of Stella Rose's lyricism and stage presence. Myles Mullen completes The Dead Language's assault on the senses, painting the stage with imagery that meshes with and reacts to the music, creating a visceral story for the audience. The result is utterly unique and new—while paying homage to the downtown NYC golden age(s) that gave us the Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, Blondie, and Warhol's Factory. Stella Rose's first two singles, "Muddled Man" and "Angel" were released in Fall 2022.

The current listing of North American dates, cities and venues is also below. Additional North American shows will be announced in the very near future.
