Within a few minutes, the venue was ringing with sounds of anticipation and the excited voices of Depeche Mode fans from all over Europe as they waited tensely for the band to take the stage. Amongst the fans assembled for the evening famous faces included actress Jessica Schwarz, HP Baxxter, Markus Kavka and Austrian production legends Kruder & Dorfmeister. Alongside new tracks from their new album "Delta Machine" released just days earlier on the 22nd of March, the band also played classic tracks including "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy the Silence". One of the highlights of the evening was the first live European performance of soon to be released second single "Soothe my Soul". As the show drew to a close the undeniable magic and energy of Depeche Mode 's live show had once again been re-affirmed, and the tone for the upcoming European tour set to kick off at the start of May had clearly been set.
