Depeche Mode<\/a> have confirmed that their epic concert film, M,<\/em> will be coming to cinemas worldwide later in 2025. Check out the details below.<\/p>\n The upcoming release follows on from the film being announced in April<\/a> and receiving a rapturous reception at this year\u2019s Tribeca Festival. It is set to screen in over 2,500 cinemas across more than 60 countries.<\/p>\n Made by the band along with Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision, the limited theatrical event will begin on October 28, and gives fans of the band the opportunity to see Dave Gahan and Martin Gore on their journey \u201cinto the heart of Mexican culture\u2019s relationship with death, framed by the iconic live performances\u201d.<\/p>\n The film was conceived and directed by award-winning Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frias, and comprises footage from the band\u2019s three sold-out shows at the Foro Sol Stadium in Mexico City \u2013 held as part of their \u2018Memento Mori\u2019 2023 and 2024 tour<\/a>. It also sees the members illustrate their multi-cultural influences and explore the connection between music, mortality, and Mexican tradition.<\/p>\n \u201cAt its core, our new film M<\/em> is about the deep connection between music, culture, and people \u2013 and Fernando Fr\u00edas, who directed and conceived the film, did a beautiful job telling that story that through the lens of Mexican culture and our shows in Mexico City,\u201d said Gahan.<\/p>\n Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, added: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to continue our longstanding collaboration with Sony Music Vision and IMAX to bring Depeche Mode: M<\/em> to audiences worldwide in October. This cinematic experience is a perfect celebration of the \u2018Memento Mori Tour\u2019 and the deep connection Depeche Mode has with their global fanbase.\u201d<\/p>\n For Frias, the project comes following his work on the award-winning film I\u2019m No Longer Here<\/em>, which cleaned up at Mexico\u2019s prestigious Ariel Academy Awards, taking home 10 wins. It also follows on from his latest film, I Don\u2019t Expect Anyone to Believe Me<\/em>, which was released in 2023 to critical acclaim.<\/p>\n With their shows in Mexico City, Depeche Mode played to nearly 200,000 fans, and all shows on the extensive tour came in celebration of their 15th studio album of the same name<\/a>. That record marked the first since the tragic passing of synth player and founding member Andy Fletcher<\/a>, who died back in May 2022, aged just 60.<\/p>\n During the dates between 2023 and 2024, the band played to more than 3million fans globally at 112 shows around the world.<\/p>\n Tickets for the theatrical release of M<\/em> go on sale from September 17 and will be available here<\/a>.
