Depeche Mode gave a great concert for 30,000 people in Peru

With an electrifying show, David Gahan, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher made their audience (estimated in 30,000 people), who packed the Monumental Stadium Esplanade, jump, sing and cry.

The concert, part of their ‘The tour of the universe’ tour, started at 9:25am with this classic “In chains,” with Gahan's voice captivating the audience.

Gahan connected immediately with the 30,000 people, who had gathered to see the first performance of Depeche Mode in Peru.

The set-list included many of the best known songs from their album ‘Sounds of the Universe,’ their last production, as well as some of their most popular hits.

However, it is worth noting that the performances of ‘Enjoy the Silence,’ ‘Personal Jesus,’ and ‘Behind the Wheel’ were the ones that really moved the audience, turning the concert into a real party full of shouts, jumps and tears.

After two hours, Martin Gore finished the night by putting on a Peruvian chullo, and the band said goodbye with the hit ‘Waiting for the night.’

This was an amazing night, when "In Chains" started I can't believe that I was hearing Dave, Andy and Martin together, so It was the best night I ever had, expecting so many years for these guys in Perú.

Thank you very much Dave, Andy and Martin for this concert, you come true one of my dreams.

C'ya soon!

There's not much else to say after reading the previous comments; It was truly a magnificent show and concert, and I'm so glad I attended. It was definitely one of the best concerts Lima has ever seen in many years; and probably the best one it will ever see in a long time. And for all those fools who thought Dave say something he did not, you better get the wax out of your ears. Thanks Guys, it was a great experience to finally see you live; I've been a fan since I was 12, now I'm 34.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Depeche Mode!!! It was a dream come true!!! I danced, sang and jumped the whole concert. I've been a fan for 10 years. Now i can die in peace. I hope we could see you again.

All the people who thought Dave said "Chile" are not real fans. He definitely said "Thank you, good night". We should be thanking them for coming to our country but not criticize them.

I wish you guys the best of luck in this tour.

Gracias!!
