Loved that album when I was about 11, I had volumes 1 and 2 on those cassettes that MFP used to make with a wraparound cardboard cover, £2.25 a pop at WH Smith, happy days Then I discovered the Bunnymen and became a grey overcoated miserablist like the rest of you buggers.

In all seriousness, this isn't true. DM played Coachella in 2006. I was there and I done seen it with my own eyes.

So over 20 years? I am going by whenever the remastered 2007 video was shot. (1987?)

Depeche Mode will perform at this year's Glastonbury festival, according to reports.

“They were keen to play but wanted everyone from Mute to be able to be there to celebrate, not just a few big bosses.”

I saw DM play the Hollywod Bowl a few years back. Not a festival but the place was packed. It was absolutely hysterical to see Mr. Gahan do the Jesus pose, all frail and waif-like. Doesn't compare in any way, shape or form as to when Mac does it live during The Cutter.

Go ahead and spell it with a "u". I can still read it.
