Published on 07/26/2026 at 13:54 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael MĂĽller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Depeche Mode continue to roll out their Memento Mori live era. According to current listings from European promoters, the band have extended their world tour into 2025, including two arena shows in Berlin as part of a wider run across the continent.
Extended Memento Mori tour reaches Berlin
The Memento Mori world tour began in 2023 in support of Depeche Mode’s fifteenth studio album and has already taken the English synth-rock band across Europe, North America and Latin America. The group’s return to large indoor arenas in 2025 continues that cycle, with Berlin as a key stop in the German leg.
Promoter and venue schedules list Depeche Mode for two nights at one of Berlin’s major arenas, underlining the sustained demand for the band’s first tour as a duo of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore after the death of founding member Andy Fletcher in 2022. Berlin has long been central to Depeche Mode’s European touring history, from early club dates to later arena and stadium performances.
Sunday angle - band history and German connection
For fans based in Germany, Depeche Mode’s live history is closely tied to the country’s venues and audiences. The band’s relationship with Berlin dates back to the early 1980s, when they began to build a following in continental Europe and frequently performed in German cities such as Berlin, Hamburg and Düsseldorf.
Over the decades Depeche Mode shows in Germany have ranged from mid-size halls to major outdoor events. Their 2013 Delta Machine tour included stops at venues like Berlin’s Waldbühne and Düsseldorf’s ESPRIT Arena, while subsequent tours such as Global Spirit in 2017–2018 saw them headline stadiums and large festivals. The current Memento Mori run continues that pattern, with arena capacities in the tens of thousands.
