Depeche Mode will again partner with Swiss watch maker Hublot, raising money and awareness for charity: water.[1]

The songs World In My Eyes, Everything Counts, and Wrong have new intros on this tour.

Starting with the show 2018-05-22 Honda Center, Anaheim, CA, USA, Home was performed in an edited acoustic version, until the second verse.

At the end of A Question Of Time, on all dates. Dave performed the chorus lyrics from Iggy Pop - I'm Bored, similarly, Dave performed the lyrics to the chorus of Tuxedomoon - No Tears For The Creatures Of The Night at the end of So Much Love.

On most dates, Depeche Mode covers David Bowie's "Heroes" as a tribute to the late musician. The song has an historical connection with the band; you can read more about it on this page: 1980-04-0x Rehearsal, Woodlands School, Basildon, Essex, England, UK

The intro to the show consists of two parts: The first part is a 1:10 clip of The Beatles' "Revolution" and the second part is a remixed version of Cover Me.

At the time of writing (August 3 2017), Dave Gahan appears to have two gimmicks for this tour:

  1. During the pre-tour gigs Avatar Studios and Hollywood Forever as well as every gig on this tour except Nice, Dave raps towards the end of Barrel Of A Gun: "Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge / I'm trying not to lose my head" which is from a song called 'The Message' by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. When webmaster Daniel "BRAT" Barassi jokingly said on Instagram that he was taking credit for the inspiration for this line (as he is an avid fan of producing mash-ups, which can be heard on his website bratproductions.com), Dave's wife Jennifer Sklias (jokingly or seriously) commented "Naw... they was my idea!"
  2. During the waving part of Never Let Me Down Again (excepting the S.I.R. Studios rehearsal of course), Dave Gahan picks up a large shooter gun on the catwalk with which he fires off T-shirts. The only concerts where he has not done this are Amsterdam, Antwerp, Ljubljana, Athens, Bratislava, Phoenix, Dublin, Manchester, Buenos Aires and Isle of Wight.
