We kicked off our first Devotional show on Friday 8th of September at o2 Academy Islington and what an amazing experience it was. Firstly, we had the honour and privilege of playing this set for an audience of avid Depeche Mode fans and secondly, we got our first taste of what these new songs were like to play live.
It was a true spine-tingling experience to listen to the Higher Love intro get played out and watch and listen as the atmosphere and excitement built. But this song was not the only treat, as only a few songs later, we got to play Condemnation, a very precious song that we have been working on as we had the superb voices of Lara and Emily from The Australian Pink Floyd providing breath-taking backing vocals and visuals on our projections.
It was also an amazing thrill to perform ‘Rush’ and feel the pulse of that song ripple throughout the venue. Not only that, but we also got to debut our Devotional versions of other tracks such as ‘World in my eyes’, ‘Behind The Wheel’, ‘Everything Counts’ and ‘Fly On The Windscreen’.
We have more of these shows planned both in 2023 and 2024. So, what are you waiting for? Get over to our live dates page and book your tickets! https://depechemodetribute.co.uk/live-gigs-tickets/
o2 Academy Islington on 8th Sept – what an absolutely stunning show!!!! The most enjoyable and atmospheric gig I’ve been to in a long long time. I brought my daughter who’s only been into Depeche Mode for a relatively short time and she loved it (thank you to Barclay for taking the time to chat to us after the show – made it even more special for her). It’s great to see the younger generation appreciating these amazing songs. For anybody reading this, if you haven’t seen The Devout perform, I highly recommend you check them out. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. We hope to see you at another show very soon 🙂
