Forced to Mode - The World's Best Depeche Mode Tribute Band

Forced To Mode is recognized as "the world's best Depeche Mode tribute band" (Sonic Seducer, depechemode-de, Monkeypress...). Their shows have won enthusiastic acclaim across 13 European countries.

Audience reactions, critical praise, concert videos, and live recordings all make one thing clear: F2M delivers tribute concerts in a class of their own. The fanbase surrounding Forced To Mode is remarkable - no other band besides Depeche Mode itself has more posts and activity on the largest German-language DM fan forum. Their YouTube channel has over 2 million views.

It is above all the energetic live performance, voices strikingly close to the original, and meticulous attention to sonic detail that make F2M's tribute shows so unique and unforgettable. The band revives the spirit of Depeche Mode's iconic eras and brings it back to the big stage with masterful execution, sophistication, and precision.

Ever-changing setlists and rarely or never before performed live DM songs are core to the band's philosophy. Through thematic concerts - tour and album specials, B-side shows, performances with symphony orchestras - Forced To Mode has won the hearts of DM fans worldwide.

Over more than 10 years, the three Berlin-based musicians have performed over 330 concerts, completed 2 acoustic tours, and staged numerous special shows. Their repertoire now spans over 100 Depeche Mode songs, with no end in sight.
