    Let's hope for a Dublin date...

    http://www.depechemode.com/news.html#news_158


    "As you may have seen over the last week, a few Depeche Mode-related websites, message boards and news sites have posted alleged tour dates for 2013. While the band will indeed be touring next year, we have not confirmed any show dates yet and tickets will not be on sale until late fall. Be assured, we will make a timely official announcement on DepecheMode.com and the band's official Facebook and Twitter accounts as soon as dates are confirmed, and at that time will give full details on when tickets will be made available.


    Stay tuned for more updates from the studio and exciting news over the next few months.
    We look forward to seeing you soon."

    The only time I've been at the O2 but the sound was unbelievable so I'm hoping any Dublin date will be there again.

    That gig is definitely in my top 3 gigs ever. Loved every minute of it.

    been to the last 2 in the o2 /point
    The one previous to the last one was even better.
    Fingers crossed they play again, always a guaranteed belter.

    Nobody's mentioned the RDS gig where they filmed some of the Question of Lust video.

    German site eventim defines it as an "arena" tour in the summer months, which would rule out the o2:

    http://www.eventim.de/tickets.html?doc=artistPages%2Foverview&kuid=144

    If this is correct, we still might get Marley Park or RDS open air venue.

    Not necessarily. The portion of Touring the Angel in which they played the Point was in stadia pretty much everywhere else across Europe. The size of the stage set may be a factor.

    From the info on the eventim site, the German venues would appear to be

    Stuttgart - Mercedes-Benz Stadion
    Berlin - Olympiastadion or Waldbuhne
    Hamburg - Whatever the HSV football stadium is caled this year
    Munich - Olympiastadion
    Dusseldorf - Esprit Arena
    Frankfurt - Commerzbank
    Leipzig - Zentralstadion

    They can leave some of the stage at home and play the o2. How much would a show likely to be?

    Or there could be no Irish date at all as per the Exciter and Singles tours :(

    Traveled to those and willing to do so again, bit obviously would prefer a Dublin date.

    They usually add Dublin late on in the tour with extra dates in the UK. So even if Dublin isn't on the tour initially it could well be added again. The O2 went down very well with the band last time and they do seem to stay in Dublin a few days when they tour. TBH though its much better to travel to see them in Paris, Barcelona etc. A far better atmosphere and i've seen DM in many countries.The O2 was a joke last time in the seats where you where told "sit down" by gob****e security. It did get to a stage where we all stood up and they could no nothing but next time I'm standing.

    Ah there is no chance of that, at best we will get the 02. Dm are not popular enough in Ireland. Considered an 80s band at best by most uninformed. If you look at the crowd in 02 at their gigs you will find about 50per cent are not Irish.

    Has anyone ever visited here: http://www.depechemode.ee/bar/

    If DM don't do a gig here. I'd highly recommend a weekend in Tallin for the next best thing :D:D

    Nope, but you're making this look like a very tempting destination if they play a gig there or closeby on the next tour......

    I'm patiently awaiting a torrent of abuse from female posters now.....:p

    Hi! I think 10:30 will be grand. We open door at 9 so there will be like 90 minutes to fill up the venue. We don't want the band to play in empty or half empty place. Are you coming in?

    German concert dates will go on sale tomorrow at 2pm CET (1pm Irish time). There will be a press conference at 1.30pm CET (12.30pm Irish time), which will be livestreamed here:
    http://www.eventim.de/tickets.html?doc=artistPages%2Foverview&kuid=144
    Note: there's a good chance they will have a voiceover of a German translater, so it might be impossible to follow for the non-German speakers.
