The Devout perform a black celebration of Depeche Mode.

==

Depeche Mode stand as one of electronic music’s most enduring architects, sculpting dark-hued synthpop into something cinematic, spiritual, and unmistakably their own. Emerging from the early-’80s new-wave burst, they evolved from bright, hook-driven electronics into a brooding, industrial-tinged sound anchored by Martin Gore’s emotive songwriting and Dave Gahan’s baritone swagger. Their music balances vulnerability and menace, exploring desire, faith, and human fragility with disarming honesty. Across decades, they’ve remained both innovators and cult icons, influencing genres from alt-rock to techno while commanding arenas worldwide. Few bands have fused mood, melody, and machine with such unwavering conviction.

Line Up

It’s our duty as The Devout to not only bring your favourite Depeche Mode songs to life, but also invoke your memories.

We are more than aware and respectful that DM have fans of all ages; which is why we want to create a unique experience. To use all of the skill, talent, production and design possible to create a show that transports you back to type of live gigs that were making Depeche Mode breakthrough into being the massive Worldwide act they have been for decades.

We not only deliver an opportunity for the fans who ‘were there’ a chance to relive the magic but also gives an insight for the younger audience of what it was like to go to a show where a band were building on, then hitting the peak of their powers.

Our show evolves all the time adding new elements from not just extremely accurate variations of DMs recorded or live sound choices (even different synth sounds used on different tours), but also artistically relevant video and even lighting design to recreate the classic stage design and DM’s 1980s and 90s parcan and moving head lighting. That’s how serious we are.
