Depeche Mode scraps Ft. Lauderdale tour opener

NEW YORK (Billboard) - British synth-pop band Depeche Mode has canceled its planned North American tour opener scheduled for Wednesday at Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. due to power outages and curfew limitations resulting from Hurricane Wilma.
The tour, which comes in support of the group's new album, "Playing the Angel," will now begin Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Tickets from Wednesday's BankAtlantic Center show will be honored for the St. Petersburg date, but refunds are also available to fans that cannot make Thursday's gig.
Depeche Mode warmed up for the tour with a rare club show last Friday at New York's Bowery Ballroom. The 16-song set ran the gamut from oldies like "I Feel You," "Personal Jesus," "Policy of Truth" and "Enjoy the Silence" to such new album cuts as the single "Precious," "A Pain That I'm Used To," "Suffer Well" and "John the Revelator."
