Shout!#6 Page 2 - The Singles 86 ->98 Tour

Depeche Mode return to the road this autumn. The band embark on an extensive two-month UK and European tour in September and October, with further dates in the US to follow in November and December. The new tour is entitled "The Singles Tour 86-98". This is the first time Depeche Mode have been seen in concert since the summer of 1993, when their 'Devotional' tour was seen by over two million people around the world.

The European shows, full details of which are attached, coincide with the release of a new singles compilation album, which will also include new material the band are currently recording with producer Tim Simenon in London.

Depeche Mode have sold over 35 million albums to date since their first single was released in 1981; their last album, "Ultra", reached No 1 in the charts in 1997. The new album is a companion to the "Singles 81-85" collection released in 1985.

A single, "Only When I Lose Myself", will be released as a prelude to the release of the new album.
