Depeche Mode performed at London Stadium during the Global Spirit Tour supporting their 14th studio album, Spirit.

Visually, they leaned into a stark, industrial aesthetic inspired by Spirit’s artwork. Longtime band's collaborator Anton Corbijn’s design language set the tone for the live visuals, marrying minimalist scenic elements with dramatic video content. Unlike some rock tours that rely heavily on pyrotechnics, this production prioritized video and lighting over flame effects. Smoke, haze and strobe light bursts were used to add drama at key musical moments, but there were no large, constant fire effects typical of harder rock tours. This choice kept the focus on mood and texture rather than spectacle.

The images were produced for editorial and live music coverage, documenting a large-scale London stadium performance.
