The “Global Spirit Tour” will ramble on into 2018, bringing Depeche Mode into additional North American cities.

The “final North American shows” will be in May and June, starting May 22 in Anaheim, Calif.’s Honda Center. There are nine dates total in the run, ending at Air Canada Centre in Toronto June 11.

Fans can register for the Ticketmaster Verified Fan presale now until Feb. 10, and the VF and presales start Feb. 12. The general onsale begins Feb. 16.

The “Global Spirit Tour” is already running through Europe, having staged in Krakow, Poland last night. The next stop is tomorrow in Lodz, Poland’s Atlas Arena.

The tour, in support of Depeche Mode’s 2017 album Spirit, started in March that year and has been big business, reaching No. 6 on the Year End Top 100 Worldwide Tours chart. The band grossed $141.1 million, moving 1,565,573 tickets at an average price of $78.

Jordan Zivitz reviewed a Depeche Mode performance in the Montreal Gazette, writing: “Anyone who tends to dismiss Depeche Mode as a retro attraction would have likely been silenced before the halfway mark of the English synth-rock titans’ Bell Centre concert Tuesday… It was potent, it was pulse-quickening, and it didn’t betray its age. Depeche Mode in a nutshell.”
