Zurich - Event

Doom-laden synth-rock gods Depeche Mode are on an extensive tour in support of latest album, Sounds of the Universe. These dates are at Zurich's Hallenstadion.

Depeche Mode's debut release of catchy synth-pop, Speak and Spell, made the UK top ten in 1981. The group have gone on to sell more than 75 million albums.

A heavier sound brought US success and 1993's, Songs of Faith and Devotion, topped both the US and UK charts. The subsequent, stressful 14-month world tour lead to addiction, health problems and the departure of a band member. The group healed itself before coming back with the 1997 release of Ultra.
