As if to fulfill the dark dreams of every goth in South Florida, Depeche Mode has announced it will return to perform in Miami in October, just in time for All Hallows Eve.

Adding new dates to an already massive world tour — 75 shows in total — the legendary synthpop band will play the Miami-Dade Arena on Thursday, October 12, two days after a stop in Orlando. The band is touring behind a new album, Memento Mori, set for release on March 24 via Columbia Records, which it teased with an Anton Corbijn-directed video for the single "Ghosts Again." Depeche Mode's last album, Spirit, was released in 2017.

The new album and tour are also the band's first since the death of founding member Andy "Fletch" Fletcher in 2022. Depeche Mode now consists of only two primary members, vocalist Dave Gahan and iconic frontman and multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore. After Fletcher died of natural causes amid the pandemic, Gahan and Gore decided to continue the project they'd begun as a trio in accordance with their late bandmate's wishes.

Opening acts for the new leg have yet to be confirmed. Upcoming techno producer Kelly Lee Owens, who played III Points in 2021, will open for most of their spring North American dates. Depeche Mode's last visit to Miami was in 2017 during the Global Spirit Tour.

Tickets for the show will be available via Ticketmaster on Friday, February 24, at 10 a.m. with a fan presale on Tuesday, February 21. Find all of the tour dates below.
