50 official live recordings announced - Available to pre-order now!

Depeche Mode are proud to announce an exciting new collaboration with Live Here Now that will see 50 dates on their current world tour recorded and released as limited edition CD's and digital downloads.

Depeche Mode will play to more than two and a half million people across 31 countries during the "Touring The Angel" 2005/6 World Tour.

Recording will begin at the legendary Shoreline Amphitheater in California, where the band headline on Thursday, April 27th. After numerous dates across the United States, Depeche Mode return to Europe for a series of stadium shows and festival appearances throughout the summer.

Each concert will be recorded and mixed, giving fans a unique high-quality souvenir that truly captures the energy and atmosphere of the legendary Depeche Mode live experience. The two-disc set is available for a limited time and is packaged with deluxe artwork featuring new and exclusive photographs by Anton Corbijn. Fans can order at the venue on the night or online.

Live Here Now was established in 2004 to produce legal official concert recordings and offers a legitimate alternative to widespread live music piracy. Their clients to date include Moby, Goldfrapp, Mylo, Erasure, Heaven 17 and Throbbing Gristle.
