Depeche Mode’s new concert film, ‘M’, confronts mortality while celebrating their legacy. Set to release in IMAX theaters on October 28, the film captures the band’s powerful performances and cultural connections during their world tour.
Depeche Mode has long captivated audiences with their synth-pop anthems that explore the darker sides of the human experience. However, their latest concert film, ‘Depeche Mode: M’, takes a bold step in confronting the theme of death like never before.
This film follows the iconic band from Essex during their 2023-2024 world tour, which supports their album ‘Memento Mori’. This album is particularly significant as it marks their first release after the passing of founding member Andy Fletcher in 2022. As the title suggests, the album delves into themes of mortality, yet true to Depeche Mode’s style, it finds moments of joy and inspiration amidst the darkness.
The tour featured an impressive 112 shows globally, but the film zeroes in on three unforgettable nights at Foro Sol Stadium in Mexico City. Directed by Fernando Frías, the film captures the energy of these sold-out performances, promising to weave in the rich cultural tapestry of Mexico’s unique and often bittersweet way of honoring the dead.
In the trailer, fans can see the band performing one of their biggest hits, “Personal Jesus,” alongside classics from their extensive catalog, including “Enjoy the Silence,” “Just Can’t Get Enough,” and “World In My Eyes,” the latter of which was dedicated to Fletcher during the show.
Lead singer Dave Gahan expressed, “At its core, our new film ‘M’ is about the deep connection between music, culture, and people—and Fernando Frías, who directed and conceived the film, did a beautiful job telling that story through the lens of Mexican culture and our shows in Mexico City.”
Depeche Mode is no stranger to documentaries; their 2019 film “Spirits in the Forest” highlighted the band’s passionate fanbase. However, this new film, which premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, will be released in IMAX theaters this fall, offering fans an opportunity to experience the band’s stunning performances on the largest screens available.
Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, stated, “We’re proud to continue our longstanding collaboration with Sony Music Vision and IMAX to bring ‘Depeche Mode: M’ to audiences worldwide in October. This cinematic experience is a perfect celebration of the Memento Mori Tour and the deep connection Depeche Mode has with their global fanbase.”
Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision will debut “Depeche Mode: M” in select IMAX theaters starting on Sunday, October 28. Be sure to check out the trailer below!
