Depeche Mode have announced that they will release their acclaimed SPiRiTS in the Forest documentary concert film on DVD for the first time next month.
Arriving on March 27, the film captures the rockers in full flight as they played the final two shows of their ‘Global Spirit Tour’ at the Waldbühne in Berlin in 2018.
The film, directed by Anton Corbijn, has never been released in its entirety but will be showcased across a special four-disc package.
As well as capturing the shows on two video discs, two CDs also contain the ‘LiVE SPiRiTS’ soundtrack and the live audio recording from their two performances.

An official release teases: “Re-envisioning the very concept of a music documentary, director and longtime Depeche Mode collaborator Anton Corbijn focused the narrative on six super fans from different regions of the globe.
“The film zeroes in on their lives – all extremely different save for their love of Depeche Mode’s music and the way that music has shaped their experiences – intercut with the final Berlin show, held at the iconic Waldbühne (“Forest Stage”) on the record-breaking two-year Global Spirit Tour in 2018, which saw them play to over 3 million fans at 115 shows across the world.”
Last month, Depeche Mode were announced, along with Nine Inch Nails and the late Whitney Houston, as the inductees for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 2020.
The band said of the honour: “We’re honoured to be included as one of this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and to stand alongside the other incredible acts in the Rock Hall and those joining this year. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us and our music over the years.”
