Nouvelle Vague: A Date With Depeche Mode in Leeds

Nouvelle Vague brings their signature bossa nova and easy listening reinterpretations of post-punk and new wave classics to Leeds. The French band, known for their debut album featuring covers of songs by Joy Division, The Cure, and Depeche Mode, will perform a special set dedicated to Depeche Mode's music.

Attendees can expect a unique atmosphere where familiar new wave anthems are transformed into sultry, Latin-tinged versions. The band's approach, using female vocalists who often had not heard the original songs, creates a fresh and surprising take on beloved tracks. This concert offers a chance to experience the innovative sound that has defined Nouvelle Vague since their formation in 2003.

For fans of both the original artists and Nouvelle Vague's distinctive style, this event promises an evening of reimagined classics in an intimate setting. The band's ability to turn songs inside out—generating frosty menace, giggly coquetry, or haunting languor—makes for a captivating live experience.
