Tom Dunne: I just can't get enough of Depeche Mode

I thought press conferences for bands had become a thing of the past. With albums ‘dropping’ and social media giving instant access to all breaking news I just thought their day was gone. But it would appear, thankfully, I was wrong.
I got a call inviting me to a media event in Berlin. They had me at Berlin obviously but I was more than a little intrigued. It all seemed so old school. It was Depeche Mode, but apart from that details were scant and we were sworn to secrecy. For the first time in a very long time, I was asked to stay off Twitter.
