New concert film on the horizon from Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode, the British electronic music duo, is set to release a new concert film titled "Depeche Mode: M". The film, directed by the award-winning Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frias, will be screened in cinemas worldwide this fall, starting on October 28, 2025.
The movie was recorded during the past two years at Mexico City's Foro Sol Stadium during Depeche Mode's 2023-2024 Memento Mori tour. The film will feature live performances, but it also delves into themes linking the band's music, mortality, and Mexican cultural traditions around death.
Frias, known for Mexico’s Ariel Award-winning I'm No Longer Here, conceived and directed the film. Singer Dave Gahan praised Frias' work, calling it "truly wonderful."
The film is not just a concert film, but also a cultural exploration. It explores the theme of transience, and according to statements from Sony Music Entertainment, it promises to be an intense musical and spiritual journey.
The film will be shown in over 2,500 cinemas across 60 countries, including IMAX screens. Tickets will be available starting September 17, 2025.
"Depeche Mode: M" is said to illustrate the timeless, multicultural impact of Depeche Mode. It serves as a tribute to the late founding member Andy Fletcher, who passed away in 2022.
The release of "Depeche Mode: M" comes as a treat for the band's fans, who have been eagerly awaiting new material from the iconic group. The film promises to offer a unique experience, blending music, culture, and the poignant theme of transience.
