Black Celebration Tour

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, U.K. in late March and finishing in Rüsselsheim, West Germany in late May. A North American jaunt followed in early June, commencing in Boston, Massachusetts 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.
