For the Love of Depeche Mode

Suffolk Theater presents “Strangelove: The Depeche Mode Experience” on Sunday, July 23, at 8 p.m. Based in Los Angeles, the band delivers a career-spanning, pitch perfect “best of” concert that transports the listener through time and touches on several key points in Depeche Mode’s 40-plus year career.

Songs from throughout the Depeche canon are lovingly recreated; from favorites on the band’s debut “Speak and Spell” to the newest fare from the latest, 2017’s “Spirit.” No detail of Strangelove’s presentation has been overlooked. The visual presentation with stage set pieces and in-show costume changes reflect different eras of Depeche Mode’s story.

Truly evocative of a Depeche Mode arena/stadium stage show; the scale of “Strangelove’s” theatrical stage production is unparalleled, save for the real article. Custom-produced multimedia projection visuals delight the concertgoer’s senses and enhance the illusion that they’re witnessing an actual Depeche Mode concert.

These accomplished musicians have a reverence and devotion to Depeche Mode’s body of work that’s driven them to recreate every possible detail in a concert setting that transcends a mere tribute production; and feels more like a shared communal fan-club celebration of halcyon days of new wave/emerging electronica.

With over 120 million records sold and a rabid international fan base, Depeche Mode’s status as elder statesmen of electronica was recently cemented with their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last year. Their enormous fan base encompasses all ages and crosses every demographic. Their last stadium/arena tour in 2018 set world box office records. “Strangelove: The Depeche Mode Experience” brings a thoroughly enjoyable and authentic show to concertgoers, and connects with international audiences, wherever the group performs.

As Martin Gore of Depeche Mode said, “They do it to such fine detail it’s scary.”

Tickets are $45 to $59 at thesuffolk.org. Suffolk Theater is at 118 East Main Street, Riverhead.
