After talking to German based promoter, Marek Lieberberg, fellow fansite depechemode.de is reporting as much, and a great deal more! We’ve hit up Google Translate and thrown in a generous helping of editing to give you all the goodies in English… read on! And a huge tip of the hat to Sven at www.depechemode.de for the report!
From www.depechemode.de:
Every day there are new rumours about the upcoming Depeche Mode tour for 2009. Depechemode.de usually bring you up-to-date, accurate info, and this time is no different. You can start looking forward to 2009 - Depeche Mode will be playing in Germany again!
In a phone interview with concert promoter Marek Lieberberg earlier today, it was confirmed that the plans for the 2009 trek are being made as we speak. Mr. Lieberberg was kind enough to reveal some of the details of the current plans, which include a tour start in Israel in May.
For Germany the plan is to have 6 to 8 concerts during the month of June - all in stadiums. No indoor shows are scheduled at this time, and the shows will not be festivals. Ticket sales will start in October.

@2 (Burninginside):
You seem to be missing the point. The interesting news here is not that they are playing Germany yet again, but that we are given a rough timeline for the tour start, from someone who’d actually know.
@3 (doalds):
Mind your language.

Peter, I of course got the point of the post - was just horsing around.
Doalds, it’s called a sense of humor.
