Depeche Mode concert chronology |
Black Celebration Tour was a 1986 concert tour by English electronic group Depeche Mode in support of the act's fifth studio album, Black Celebration, which was released in March 1986.[1]
The tour began with a European leg, starting in Oxford, England in late March and finishing in Rüsselsheim, West Germany in late May. A North American jaunt followed in early June, commencing in Boston and culminating mid-July in Irvine, California. Shortly after the North American leg, the group headed to Japan to play three dates.
In early August, the group began a second run of European shows, starting in Fréjus, France. The group performed four additional dates in France, as well as two shows in Italy, before wrapping up the tour in Copenhagen.
Book of Love joined the tour as the opening act on 29 April in Hanover, West Germany, and continuing for the rest of the first European leg and throughout all tour dates of the North American leg (ending on 15 July).[2]

open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.
