The Devout: Depeche Mode Tribute

Brighton’s live music calendar for early 2027 includes a performance by The Devout, a tribute act dedicated to the music of Depeche Mode. The event is scheduled for Saturday, 30 January, at Chalk, the venue situated at 13 Pool Valley. For those familiar with the local circuit, Chalk is a regular stop for touring acts and tribute shows, and this particular evening is set to begin at 18:30.

The Devout is composed of musicians who were previously part of Speak and Spell, a group that performed at various festivals, including Glastonbury. Their current show is built around the 'Violator 30th Anniversary' concept. The first part of the performance is dedicated to recreating the tour of that specific album, which remains one of the most recognised records in the band's history. After this segment, the setlist transitions into a collection of Depeche Mode’s greatest hits. Attendees can expect to hear tracks such as 'Personal Jesus', 'Enjoy the Silence', 'Stripped', and 'Just Can't Get Enough'. The production is designed to mirror the live experience of the original band’s tours, with an emphasis on the technical accuracy of the sound and the presentation.

Regarding the logistics, tickets are currently available at a price point of £20.35. As is common with event ticketing, these prices are subject to change, so it is worth checking the current status if you are planning to attend. The event is likely to appeal to those who have an interest in the electronic and pop music of the 80s and 90s, as well as long-time followers of Depeche Mode’s work. The venue's location in the heart of Brighton makes it accessible for those already in the city centre. Whether you are looking to revisit the sound of the 'Violator' era or simply want to hear a selection of the band's most popular songs in a live setting, this performance provides a specific opportunity to do so within the local music scene.
