Depeche Mode Confirm Support For Upcoming North American Dates
Depeche Mode has confirmed support for first leg of the eagerly anticipated Memento Mori World Tour. The tour's first leg of dates will be opened by Kelly Lee Owens, with the exception of New York's Madison Square Garden, which will feature support from Stella Rose & The Dead Language.
Wales-born London-bred musician and producer Kelly Lee Owens' unique melding of electronic music's coolness and warmth has built her an eclectic following of fans, critics, and fellow musicians including St. Vincent, Bjork, John Cale, and of course Depeche Mode. With vocals as confident and captivating as her beats, Owens has built a formidable solo discography that includes the albums Kelly Lee Owens, Inner Song, and her latest record LP.8, released in spring 2022 to unanimous critical praise, including Clash magazine's lauding its "giant leap in her evolution as an artist, continuing to build on an ever-growing discography of limitless promise"
Darkly poetic and industrial leaning, Stella Rose and her band The Dead Language have graced venues all over their native New York City and Brooklyn. With a confidence that belies the band's relative newness, The Dead Language has quickly built a distinctive sonic and visual identity on the foundation of Stella Rose's lyricism and stage presence. Myles Mullen completes The Dead Language's assault on the senses, painting the stage with imagery that meshes with and reacts to the music, creating a visceral story for the audience. The result is utterly unique and new—while paying homage to the downtown NYC golden age(s) that gave us the Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, Blondie, and Warhol's Factory. Stella Rose's first two singles, "Muddled Man" and "Angel" were released in Fall 2022.
The current listing of North American dates, cities and venues is also below. Additional North American shows will be announced in the very near future.
