Revision as of 23:36, 7 June 2017

Depeche Mode's 2017-2018 "Global Spirit" Tour, promoting their 14th studio album "Spirit", produced by James Ford with a release date of March 17, 2017.

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.

At the time of writing (June 8 2017), Dave Gahan appears to have two gimmicks for this tour:

  1. During the tour (and pre-tour gigs Avatar Studios and Hollywood Forever), 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 since he creates a lot of mash-ups, 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' (ignoring 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, and Bratislava.

If you don't know charity: water, you should. They're an amazing organization whose goal is to bring clean, safe drinking water to everybody on the planet. On the last tour, with our fans' help, we were able to raise over 1.4 million for charity: water."
