The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced their next inductees, and Depeche Mode has been selected. Joining Depeche Mode in the Class of 2020 will be Nine Inch Nails, T. Rex, The Doobie Brothers, Notorious B.I.G., and Whitney Houston. The induction ceremony, which alternates locations annually, will be held on May 2nd in Cleveland, Ohio, the home of the Hall of Fame and Museum.

The recognition of Depeche Mode by the Rock Hall induction committee voters comes on their second time being nominated. A fan vote conducted online saw over a half-million votes for the band. During the live announcement on the “Feedback” morning show Sirius XM satellite radio’s Volume 106 channel, hosts Nik Carter, Lori Majewski, and Alan Light were welcomed by Rock Hall President & CEO Greg Harris. “Last year’s class was really a marker. Things entered into a different generation or era, not just looking back at the classic rock era, but thinking about their place in history. With bands like The Cure and Radiohead going in, it was a massive step that we continue to see progressing.” Majewski remarked that fellow inductees like these were able to vote for the new class for the first time, cementing a path for Depeche Mode.

The Rock Hall Induction Ceremony will for the first time be aired live on HBO.

Depeche Mode have announced today that their new film, “Spirits In The Forest”, will be available as a download or to rent on December 17th! The Anton Corbijn directed film was released in cinemas worldwide back on November 21st, so here’s your chance to see it again.

” Across 2017/2018 Depeche Mode embarked on their Global Spirit Tour, in which they performed to more than 3 million fans at 115 shows across the globe. This new visually-striking film, directed by award-winning filmmaker and longtime artistic collaborator Anton Corbijn, captures the energy and spectacle of the band’s performance from the tour along with a deeper look into how their music and shows have been woven into the fabric of their fans’ lives.Through the deeply emotional stories of six special Depeche Mode fans, the film shows not only how and why the band’s popularity and relevance has continued to grow over the course of their career, but provides a unique look into music’s incredible power to build communities, enable people to overcome adversity, and create connections across the boundaries of language, location, gender, age, and circumstance.Artfully shot and expertly edited, Depeche Mode: SPIRITS in the Forest goes beyond the typical concert film, weaving together exhilarating musical performances, filmed at the final shows of the Global Spirit Tour in Berlin’s famed Waldbühne (“Forest Stage”), with intimate documentary footage filmed in fans’ hometowns across the globe. ”

In what we think is a first for the band, Depeche Mode have joined forces with a clothing brand, Noah NYC, to release a range of Violator related clothing.

Noah describes the collab:

“Every once in a blue moon, an album catches the world’s attention and holds it, finding a new audience with each successive generation. With Violator, Depeche Mode did exactly that, creating a timeless classic that feels as fresh to us today as it did when it came out. – Brendon Babenzien”

The range features t-shirts, hats, sweatshirts and jackets and goes on sale on Thursday 12th December. We don’t know how much they’ll cost yet but as you’ll see in the link below there are some nice items. We imagine they might be a tad expensive however…
