Depeche Mode have confirmed plans to hold a press conference in Paris this October.
The band have been working on new material throughout 2012 but have made no official statement on their release plans. It is now expected they will name a 2013 date for the release of new material.
Taking place on October 23rd, the event opens at 1:30pm and will be broadcast live online on the band's official website, with Depeche Mode planning what the press release describes as "an exciting announcement". Stay tuned to depechemode.com for more details.
In an interview earlier this year, Dave Gahan said about the progress of new material: "We've recorded probably close to twenty songs so far, and they're all starting to get in pretty good shape. We're now starting to whittle that down what's gonna be the record."
