Depeche Mode Schedule Extensive 2006 Tour Dates

Depeche Mode's upcoming world tour will be the band's first in roughly five years, starting with six weeks in the U.S. and Canada shortly after the untitled new album's projected autumn release date and continuing around Europe for at least the first three months of 2006. There's a catch, though, for stateside fans: The band have released a list of American cities, but they don't have dates attached yet. Keep reading Pitchfork to learn those dates when they're revealed, or, heck, just pick a concert venue and camp out in front for the next five months. You might get lucky!
