Depeche Mode in Seattle on Monday August 10

It’s been nearly 30 years and 75 million albums since Depeche Mode was formed back in 1980 and on Monday August 10, 2009, they return once again to Seattle’s Key Arena for their Sounds of the Universe tour.

Tickets are still available and range from $37 – $77. More info about the concert and tickets are available at livenation.com.
