REMODE — Open-Air Night in Cottbus (Depeche Mode Tribute)

REMODE — Europe's Most Established Depeche Mode Tribute Band

Founded in Bielefeld, REMODE has established itself in recent years as one of the leading Depeche Mode tribute bands. The band consists of musicians who perform the iconic synth-pop repertoire of the British originals (Depeche Mode, founded 1980 in Basildon) live — from "Just Can't Get Enough" and "People Are People" through "Personal Jesus" and "Enjoy The Silence" to later tracks like "Wrong" and "Heaven." The live setlist ranges from early synth-pop, the mature phase of the 90s, to the more electronic-rock oriented later releases.

Open-Air Concert at Platz am Stadtbrunnen

The Platz am Stadtbrunnen in Cottbus is an open urban space in the city center, regularly used for concerts, markets, and open-air events. Its location allows for a concert with a large stage, plenty of standing room, and a summery open-air atmosphere. Doors open at 7:00 PM — Cottbus's late summer evening vibe on the last Friday of August. The concert itself begins at 8:30 PM.

What to Expect

REMODE has gained a reputation not only for the musicians' skill but also for its elaborately designed visual presentation: lighting, stage design, projections — all in the style and spirit of the original. Those who have experienced Depeche Mode live in their 45-year career will find a faithful homage in REMODE, which doesn't imitate the iconic sound but translates it with its own energy. The open-air atmosphere enhances the impact — not a concert hall, but urban space.

Tickets and Practical Information

Tickets are available via eventim-light.com, the event's sales partner. Cottbus is easily accessible by train (RE2 from Berlin); late connections towards Berlin should be noted after the concert. The event is one of the better open-air concert opportunities in the Niederlausitz region in late summer 2026.
