  • There are SOME UNOFFICIAL (UNCONFIRMED) INFORMATION about upcoming Singles 86>98 Tour. The info was taken from Halo's Home Page, comments by Alex Davie. When info will be confirmed, it will be marked with special sign. Check for latest update!

    About planned press-conferences. The band will do only four press conferences on the European Tour - Copenhagen, Berlin (1st date), Milan, and Paris. No one-to-one interviews. The press conferences will be open for all international press. Comments: Possibly maybe.

    About backstage passes. The band will only be releasing 25-30 backstage passes for the aftershow in each city. DM doesn't want to re-create the party-like atmosphere of 1993's Devotional Tour. Comments: Seems to be true.

    About live photographing. Press photographers will be allowed access to take pictures during the first three songs of the show. This is an indication of a dynamic and fast paced beginning of the show, as band are likely to allow photographers to take pictures during the most energetic parts of their set. Confirmed. For example, in Moscow :-(.

    About promo stuff. To promote the releases Mute will be manufacturing a wrist-watch, a nylon bag with red digital logos and a long sleeved t-shirt with "The Singles 81-98" written on the front. All these will only be produced if demand is big enough. Comments: Why not?

    About Tim's perfoming. Tim Simenon will join Depeche Mode on stage for three songs during the Singles Tour to play keyboards. The songs are I Feel You, Enjoy the Silence and Barrel of a Gun. Comments: Seems to be true 'cos there're some words about it in several interviews.

    About encores. Just Can't Get Enough will be played as one of the songs during the encores. Confirmed. Second (final) encore.

    About In Your Room perfoming. The band will play live the single version of In Your Room - (Zephyr Mix). Confirmed.

    About new releases. A live album and video of a Singles Tour show will be released at the end of the tour. Comments: possibly maybe but there're no announcements.

    About Cure Tribute. The band may contribute one song to an upcoming The Cure tribute album. Comments: No comments.

    About Tim (part two). Tim Simenon will DJ in between Purity and Depeche Mode, much like Howie B did during U2's 1997 Popmart Tour. Confirmed.
