Forced To Mode - Depeche Mode's Dark & Bright Lights

There are tribute bands. And there is Forced To Mode. With a dedication that is second to none and a sound that gets under your skin, the band that has been celebrated as the "world's best Depeche Mode cover band" announce their big "Black Celebration Tour 2026".

Under the tour motto "40 Years of Black Celebration", Forced To Mode will bring a live experience to the stage that not only celebrates the great milestones of Depeche Mode, but also shines a spotlight on the dark, rarely heard gems from four decades of the band's history. A musical journey between light and shadow - uncompromising, passionate and in love with detail.

For over a decade, the three musicians from Berlin in Forced To Mode have been one of the most sought-after live acts in the tribute sector - over 500 shows in 18 countries, an impressive repertoire of over 130 Depeche Mode songs, a steadily growing fan base and millions of views on their own YouTube channel are proof of what can be felt in every second of these concerts: This band lives Depeche Mode - in every note, in every arrangement, in every gesture.

Forced To Mode do not stand for mere reproduction - their concerts celebrate the original and are far more than mere homage: Their palpable dedication, with which they bring even rare B-sides, almost forgotten album tracks and emotionally charged classics back into the limelight - make every concert unique.

Forced To Mode are continuing this impressive chapter with the "Black Celebration Tour 2026". They are reviving the spirit of the earlier, iconic Depeche Mode eras and and celebrate the 40th anniversary of this groundbreaking and much-loved album with absolute skill and their typical sophistication in show and sound. F2M deliver a true tribute experience that delves deep into the history of Depeche Mode and impressively embeds itself in the minds and hearts of fans.
