In 1986, Depeche Mode released Black Celebration, an album that didn’t just shift the sound of electronic music — it rewired it. Darker, deeper, more cinematic than anything they’d done before, it became a cornerstone for synth‑pop, industrial, and alternative scenes for decades to come.
Now, in 2026, as one of the UK and Europe’s most acclaimed Depeche Mode tribute acts — we are honouring this monumental record with a tour that promises to be nothing short of spectacular:
The Black Celebration at 40 Tour
And trust us… you do not want to miss this.
A Show Built for Devotees — and Newcomers Alike
If you’ve ever seen us live, you already know: this isn’t just a tribute show. It’s an experience.
Vocals, energy, arrangements, staging — we deliver a performance that feels authentic, intense, and emotionally charged, just the way Depeche Mode intended.
For this special 40‑year anniversary tour, we are going even bigger. Expect a setlist that spans eras and lifts the roof as well as celebrates the key tracks of Black Celebration.
Stage production inspired by DM’s legendary live aesthetics
Think dark, futuristic visuals… industrial design… glowing synth rigs… and the pulsing intensity that us Depeche Mode fans live for.
Why 2026’s Tour Is Special
Forty years on, Black Celebration remains a masterpiece. Its influence echoes through bands, producers, DJs, goth clubs, festivals, and playlists across generations.
Our 2026 tour is a chance to relive this album’s atmosphere and ambition — not through nostalgia, but through a modern, powerful, meticulously crafted live interpretation.
This isn’t just a tribute to a record.
It’s a tribute to the era, the sound, and the culture that grew around it.
