Category:Cancelled concerts
This page lists all Depeche Mode concerts that were, unfortunately, cancelled.
The links below "Pages in category "Cancelled concerts"" (see second half of this page) show pages of concerts of which tickets had already gone on sale but then had to be cancelled, usually last-minute. However, some sporadic evidence shows that there also may have been some concerts that they were initially planned by the management/organizers, but were never actually really organised and never had tickets put on sale. Here is a list of concerts that may have been planned, but please note that some of these are based on claims by fans, and that this list does not contain concerts which were planned on one date but rescheduled to another date:
