Electro band Depeche Mode have released an online video giving fans an inside look into their North American tour, due to start this Thursday.
Ahead of the band's US shows, Depeche Mode promised a 'fresh start' for their stateside fans after extensive touring across Europe this summer.
"After Europe, we take a short break, so the Americans will be getting us fresh," said guitarist and keyboardist Martin Gore. "The set that we're playing in Europe is longer than we've ever played before – 2 hours and 15 minutes. It's a mix. There are some songs that are hardcore fan favorites, others that are hits, others that are new, but we like to mix it up. We're lucky we have an audience that wants us to mix it up."
Speaking about the tour, lead vocalist Dave Gahan added; "I’m really looking forward to getting out there and performing. There are so many die hard Depeche Mode fans who have been with us every step of this journey that I can’t wait to see. I also hope that we gain some new fans with the release of Delta Machine, and I look forward to exposing them to a great Depeche Mode live performance.”
