What is M?
Depeche Mode’s concert film M captures the band’s three sold-out nights at Mexico City’s Foro Sol stadium in September 2023. The shows formed the early leg of their tour supporting 2023’s album Memento Mori and drew almost 200,000 fans across the three nights.
Directed by filmmaker Fernando Frias, M blends full-performance footage with cultural context, exploring parallels between the album’s themes and Mexican perspectives on death and mortality.

Why M matters for fans
M is the first major live document tied to Depeche Mode’s Memento Mori era, the band’s 15th studio album released in March 2023. The record was their first full-length release following the passing of co-founder Andy Fletcher.
For long-time fans, the film captures both the group’s live power and the emotional weight of their recent work. Frias’s direction highlights cultural textures in Mexico City — particularly how local traditions and the album’s meditations on mortality intersect onstage and off.
Performance highlights and production notes
The film focuses on the setlist and crowd energy across the three Foro Sol dates. Cinematography and concert mixing aim to recreate the stadium atmosphere for home viewing, while editorial sequences place the shows in a wider cultural frame.
M was produced for theatrical and home audiences and now takes its place among recent high-profile concert films that move between cinema and streaming platforms.
Bottom line
Depeche Mode’s M gives viewers a chance to experience a major run of live shows and to see how the band’s latest artistic themes sit alongside Mexican cultural motifs. Fans and newcomers using Netflix in the UK, Europe and the US can stream the film from 9 January 2026.
