The film also serves as a tribute to late band member Andy Fletcher.
Fernando Frías is known for his acclaimed works such as I'm No Longer Here, which won multiple Ariel Academy Awards in Mexico[4]. Singer Dave Gahan has praised the work of the Mexican director, calling it "truly wonderful."
Tickets for the theatrical release go on sale starting September 17, 2025, through the official Depeche Mode: M website and other outlets[1][4]. The concert film is expected to be released this fall, on October 28, 2025[1][2][3][4].
