Depeche Mode London

Depeche Mode is still on their Memento Mori tour which has lasted for a long time already. In January 2024, the band will perform twice in the O2 Arena in London, with a short trip to Birmingham between the two concerts. The first concert is on January 22 while the second concert is on January 27. Would you like to be there at one of the concerts?

As one would expect, all tickets for the Depeche Mode concerts in London were sold out quickly. As a result, you are not likely to find tickets from the official ticket sales offices if you want to be there at one of the concerts. But, if you are willing to pay more and buy ticket second-hand, it is still possible to be there in the O2 Arena at one of the concerts. You can find a link to a second-hand ticket site further down, so use it if you really want to be there at one of the concerts.

Five things you probably didn’t know about Depeche Mode.

Depeche Mode was formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex, England. The band’s original name was “Composition of Sound” before they settled on “Depeche Mode,” a name they found in a French fashion magazine. The phrase means “fast fashion” in French.

Vince Clarke, one of the founding members of Depeche Mode, left the band after the release of their debut album, “Speak & Spell” (1981). He went on to form other successful musical acts, such as Yazoo (Yaz in the US) and Erasure.

While Depeche Mode is primarily associated with electronic and synth-pop music, they had a significant impact on the goth subculture. Their darker and more introspective tracks, like “Black Celebration” and “Personal Jesus,” attracted a gothic following, and their fashion choices during the 1980s influenced the goth aesthetic.

In 1993, Depeche Mode embarked on their “Devotional Tour,” which became one of the largest and most successful tours in music history at the time. The tour took them to various countries, including locations in Europe, North America, and Asia, and they played for over 2.7 million fans.

Dave Gahan, the band’s lead singer, has pursued a successful solo career alongside his work with Depeche Mode. He has released several solo albums, including “Paper Monsters” and “Hourglass.” This dual career showcases his versatility and creativity as a musician beyond the band’s collective output.

Duran Duran London 2023

Personally, Duran Duran makes me think of the past. But, the group is still active, and you can experience Duran Duran in the present. The band will arrange several events in the United Kingdom in 2023, and there will be two concerts in the O2 Arena in London during their short tour.

Originally, Duran Duran was supposed only to have one concert in London. But, because of the event’s popularity, they added an additional concert. As a result, you can now buy tickets for two concerts with Duran Duran in London in 2023, on May 1st and on May 2nd.

Duran Duran was formed in 1978, meaning they have a long history together. The band is now on the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame list, and this might be one of your last chances to see the band perform. They will most likely play some of their biggest hits such as Girls on Film, Rio, Save a Prayer, The Reflex, Hungry Like the Wolf, The Wild Boys and Notorious (hopefully).

If you have never been to the O2 Arena in London, this is a great chance to visit the most popular concert venue in Europe.

Experience Mamma Mia! The Party in London!

Posted on August 12, 2019October 17, 2022 by worldcityguides

Are you ready for a real Mamma Mia party in London? From August 30th until February 16th in 2020, you can be a part of a five-hour-long Mamma Mia experience in the O2 Arena in London!

Björn Ulvaeus is the creator of this brand new Mamma Mia project. The show could first be seen in Stockholm (Sweden), and more than 300,000 people enjoyed the show there. But, now it will be moved to London and you are invited to check it out as well!

If you want to get a feeling of what the show is all about, take a look at the trailer above. As you can see, this is not an ordinary concert. This is a full-evening program including a three-course Mediterranean meal, lots of music and songs, dancing, and simply a stunning party for you to remember for years and years after it actually happened!

Mamma Mia Party in a Greek Taverna

As you have seen in the trailer, this is not a normal concert venue either. Here you are, in the middle of the music, eating and enjoying your food in a Greek taverna. But, from time to time action takes place and you will be able to sing along, dance, eat and have the party of your lifetime, listening to some of the biggest hits in music history.

Mamma Mia Party dates in London

The first evening is August 30th, and it is all supposed to finish on February 16th. But, as it is quickly getting sold out, I would not be surprised if they would keep the show running for a much longer time in the end.

The show is normally starting around 18.30 in the evening, but on weekends, they often run two shows a day, one starting at 12.00 and the other at 18.30.

Bruno Mars concerts in London 2017

Posted on February 27, 2017February 27, 2017 by worldcityguides

In the period between April 18th and April 22nd Bruno Mars will perform four times in O2 Arena in London. Would you like to be there at one of the Bruno Mars concerts in London?

Bruno Mars will be out touring Europe like few others in 2017. There will be loads of big tours coming up on our continent this spring and summer (U2, Coldplay, Guns N Roses, Bob Dylan and several others), but there are very few that will visit as many cities as Bruno Mars. He will not only perform 4 times in London, but he will also perform in other cities in the UK, and he will visit small and big cities in nations all across Europe. Some of the great places Bruno Mars will go include cities such as Budapest, Prague and Lisbon.

For Bruno Mars fans who would like to be there at one of the concerts in London, it should be considered great news that there are tickets still available for the concerts. These are so called second-hand tickets, meaning that they might be a bit more expensive than the original tickets, but at least they will do so that you can be there to listen to Bruno Mars in the O2 Arena in April.
