Depeche Mode reveals spring tour dates

Currently on tour in Europe, Depeche Mode returns to North America this spring for another round of concerts that support last year's "Playing the Angel."

So far, the group has a dozen dates on its roster, beginning with a trio of late-April shows that includes a performance at the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Tickets for a number of concerts will hit the box office on Friday (3/3) and Saturday (3/4). Details are included below.

Late last fall, Depeche Mode launched its "Playing the Angel" tour with a US leg that kicked off in early November and wrapped up just over a month later.

Last October, the group offered up "Playing the Angel," its 11th album overall, and first new studio set since 2001's "Exciter." The new disc debuted at No. 7 on The Billboard 200 album chart, and has sold almost 2 million copies worldwide, according to a press release.

"Playing the Angel" features the cuts "Precious" and latest single "Suffer Well." A CD-single version of the latter cut is due in stores March 20.

Depeche Mode recently filmed a music video for "Suffer Well" with longtime collaborator Anton Corbijn. The group's website features dozens of still images from the shoot, and will soon host a making-of featurette about the clip.
