OMG the day has finally come. After months of torturous waiting, Depeche Mode has announced the dates for the North American leg of their Delta Machine World Tour.

Tuesday, Oct. 8                  Phoenix, AZ               Desert Sky Pavilion

** Minneapolis is not part of the Amazon presale opportunity.

Well, we all know where I will be September 12 then. ATL, baby! I shall be raging in unadulterated joy. Who's with me?

I shan't be surprised if dates are added, as I can't believe they have no plans for Mexico; I know their Latin fanbase is extensive and cuh-razy. Perhaps they will include those with South American dates? Kinda weird.

Tickets go on sale April 6, but on the band's tumblr there is information regarding presale tix available as early as April 1 (if you're a card-carrying Citibanker, which I thankfully am not). But check this: if you even order Delta Machine from Amazon by April 1, you could purchase tickets on April 3. Hi! Easy!

I'm ecstatic. Obviously. So to celebrate our love here is a live performance of "I Feel You," one of my favorite DM songs. It's from a few years back, but I had a very intense reaction to this video when I first saw it, so here it is. Name me a more dynamic frontman! Yow!

Delta Machine blasts off March 26. Dig.
