By their own admission, Depeche Mode have a thorough and reasonably democratic process that they go through to create a tour set list.
And, yet, as the catalogue gets bigger with each new album, this mechanism presumably gets harder every time.
But fear not, gents.
In conjunction with the London Stadium, where the band play on Saturday 3 June, we thought instead it would be fun (and intriguing!) to get the fanbase to help out the boys with their dilemma instead.
Obviously, the Global Spirit Tour is already underway and the set list locked down – but ahead of what will be a landmark gig in the UK for Depeche, let’s find out what the masses would love to hear if the band had a clean slate again… just for the homecoming show.
Here on the HALO website and elsewhere, such as the Almost Predictable. Almost blog, we’ll be collecting the TWENTY songs you want to hear.
The full Depeche Mode catalogue is listed below for reference 🙂
Remember, this isn’t necessarily a list of your own favourite songs (though it may well be), but the TWENTY songs that you think should be on the ultimate Depeche Mode set list – tracks that would help create the best gig ever.
You can leave your list of TWENTY in the comments below, on the HALO Facebook page or via email.
The results will be posted on the London Stadium website and other participating sites in the days before the gig.
With many thanks in advance for your suggestions 🙂
The full discography is listed below.
