Pretty sure i seen that Gahan recently said neither he or Gore had even thought about doing new DM stuff. So I'd imagine even if they were affordable, they wouldn't be available for the foreseeable. 

Yeah at the start of the month, Dave did an interview to promote a charity gig for the late Mark Lanegan and implication seemed to be they weren't really planning anything yet but it wasn't a "It's over" tone. Besides they usually go in cycles so as Mememto Mori came out in 2023, maybe a new album in 2027/28 time is likely if they're still up for it.

DM setlists tend to be similar from tour to tour, so I don't think that says too much.

Yeah - if you swap out the new album material for things on any of their albums in the 21st century, they would be very similar. Their hardcore fans and some casuals have complaints that the older songs chosen are pretty similar for each tour they go on.

And it's a totally valid complaint; DM has way too many great tracks (both singles and album cuts) that haven't been played in forever. 

 

Even other bands like Iron Maiden who stick to the same setlist for the whole tour manage to switch it up, with the fans in mind.

U2 also tend to mix things in and out too - it was a bold move, for instance, to follow touring Joshua Tree in full by dropping Joshua Tree songs altogether in 2018, while their sets often seem to have songs not done in years popping up.

 

If they do ever tour again, makes me think they might well drop Achtung Baby having just done 40 shows of it in full in Vegas.
