Canceled Depeche Mode gig in Athens to be rescheduled for July 2009 or May 2010 ?
(Photo: unknown source) Here's some news that reached us from a Greek correspondent, it is NOT confirmed (from official side it is being dissed as rumours): While it's seems that Depeche Mode will be suing Didi Music and Terra Vibe because of their rather poor handling of the Athens concert disaster earlier this week, it also seems that both Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher were willing to play 3-5 songs. The set would be including "A Question of Lust" followed by an apology by both members, but as it seems the promoters Didi music did not want this to happen.

Athens to be rescheduled
According to the same source Depeche Mode will play either on July 14th 2009 or on 22 May 2010 at the Olympic Stadium in Athens. The promotion for this event would be done by Depeche Mode themselves through what is said to be "viable and experienced UK concert organisers and via independent neighbourhood record stores throughout Greece including the Islands and remote regions." All tickets purchased for the canceled event would be valid + a further 40 thousand tickets would go on sale for a price of Euro 40, the price the band wanted to have in the first place instead of tickets of Euro 60, Euro 80 or even Euro 100 like was the case in Greece. Truth or rumours? Until an official announcement is made, nothing is impossible...

More canceled dates
And there's confirmed news as well. It's still very unclear if the concert for Bulgary will still go ahead as planned. Depeche Mode have been forced to cancel a further four shows on their "Sounds of the Universe" tour due to further complications from singer Dave Gahan's severe bout of gastroenteritis. The following shows have been cancelled:

  • May 16th Bucharest, Romania, Izvor Park
  • May 18th Sofia, Bulgaria, Vasil Levski Stadium
  • May 20th Belgrade, Serbia, USCE Park
  • May 21st Zagreb, Croatia, Arena
Ticket holders for the above shows are advised to hold on to their tickets as an announcement will be made shortly in regard to rescheduled dates or final cancellation.

New shows to be announced
In better news, new dates are about to be added as well including on-sale info for Spain, Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

Video bottle throwing crowd Athens
A video of the Greek public throwing bottles on stage, when the cancellation of the gig is announced in front of 30.000 people, has now popped up on YouTube. Due to what happened the Greek translator Dimitra Matzouka from this video would have resigned from Didi Music, the Greek concert organisor. Didi Music did not return calls.

Good thing Dave doesn't have his taint piercing any longer. Having soiled trousers wouldn't make that very sexy.
