On 29 September 2022, Depeche Mode took to their social media channels to post a teaser of an upcoming announcement, reading "Berlin 4.10.22".[6] On 4 October 2022, a special event was held at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin hosted by Barbara Charone,[7] and was streamed live on YouTube.[8] Dave Gahan and Martin Gore were present to discuss details regarding their upcoming world tour to support the new album.[2]

Two shows on the tour were part of the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona and Madrid, which Depeche Mode headlined on Fridays 2 June and 9 June 2023.[9]

The band performed at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on 7 October 2023, nearly 30 years to the day after Gahan’s near-death experience in the city when he suffered a heart attack at Lakefront Arena during the Devotional Tour.[10]

"Black Celebration" and "Policy of Truth" made their tour debuts at New York City's Barclays Center on 21 October 2023.[11]

Performances of "World in My Eyes" on this tour were dedicated to Fletcher, as it was his favourite Depeche Mode song.[12] During the song photos of Fletcher were shown on the video screen, and Dave Gahan moved to Fletcher's usual position on stage left at the end of the track.
