I hope you’ll forgive this sentimental old codger for repeating himself, but it’s nine years to the day that I took my then 8-year-old daughter to see Depeche Mode in Birmingham. The memories of this still choke me up! Anyone else taken their kids, or planning to?

My (then) 10 year old came to Birmingham on the Spirit tour. She’s also excited to be doing Milan this summer!!

Taking my 11yo boy to Twickenham and will take him to Birmingham too if they do the same as the last tour. We’re really looking forward to it! 😊 So glad he’ll get to see them and I can share the whole experience with him!

I didn’t see the band when I was a child but I first saw them when I was 17 and attended that show with my brother. Saw them again when I was 21 and I brought my mum to see them in London as she raised me on their music! So it was like the reverse for me

My then 10 year old son went to London Stadium with myself and the wife in 2017. It was his first ever concert. We're all going to Berlin this year 👍 He's especially looking forward to it as he'll have just finished his GCSE's and be 16 and thus able to have a beer with me 🍻

Sadly,no.Daughter likes all the generic pop/dance chart shite. My boy likes a few of their songs but wouldn't do a gig.Just me and my best mate wife as usual but we like it that way.💗💙 Gives us excuses for city breaks too!Berlin this time...maybe Vegas too as got tickets.🙌🏻😁

Took my then 14 year old for a 3-day London trip in 2013, starting with Muse at the Emirates on Sunday, Palace playoff final win on Monday, ending with DM at the O2 on Tuesday for his 2nd DM gig. We were at the London Stadium gig & we’ll be at Twickenham. 😎

I totally get it. I took my two sons to their first concert to see Depeche Mode in Houston, Texas 2017. They were 8 and 5 at the time. I’ll never forget being able to share that with them.

I took my kids to an outdoor Depeche Mode concert - they were probably 6 & 8. She loved it, he said it was too loud 🤷 #Toronto #GirlGahanWild ❤️
