Depeche Mode arrives in Rome
Our Blogger: Diana
Formed in 1980, Depeche Mode is now one of the most influential and long lasting electronic music bands, with forty-five songs in the UK Singles Chart and with 75 million albums sold worldwide according to EMI.
The historic members of the band are:Dave Gahan (lead vocals), Martin Gore (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Andrew Fletcher (keyboards).
The band will visit 28 cities in 21 countries with their new Tour of the Universe kicking off on May 06th at the Rockhal in Luxembourg and landing then on May 10th at Tel Aviv, as announced by the band at the Olympiastadion of Berlin during a press conference held last October. During their last tour in 2006 the exhibition at the Israeli city was cancelled due to the war. Tour dates are planned throughout Europe: Greece, Bulgary, Hungary, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy and others more.
Italian fans can’t wait for these two dates of the tour: the first one on June 16th 2009 in the Stadio Olimpico of Rome and the second one on June 18th 2009 in Milan, in the San Siro Stadium. Tickets have been sold since October!
Sounds of the Universe (2009), twelfth album of the band, is the result of a creative
process, started in early 2008 with some songs Martin Gore had been working on at his home studio in Santa Barbara. The first single released from the album is Wrong, available on the band’s official website.
Hotel des Artistes and Yes Hotel are two excelent options to consider as a base in Rome. Staying there you will be able to reach easily both the venue of this concert and the most interesting areas of the eternal city.
