Depeche Mode resumed their 'Tour of the Universe' on Monday June 8th in Leipzig, Germany following singer Dave Gahan's recent illness. They followed up their return with a spectacular 65,000 sell out success in Berlin's Olympic Stadium on June 10th, and their European summer tour will now continue as per the original schedule.

May 18th - Sofia Vasil Levski Stadium

THE BAND WOULD LIKE TO REASSURE FANS THAT THEY ARE 100% COMMITTED TO REPLAYING THESE 4 SHOWS AND ASK FANS TO BEAR WITH THEM A LITTLE LONGER UNTIL THE NEW DATES CAN BE RESOLVED.
