The tour, which was officially announced in Cologne, Germany in April 1998, was the group's first since the Exotic Tour/Summer Tour in 1994. A year prior, the group opted not to tour in order to promote Ultra, their ninth studio album, after issues surrounding the band following the lengthy tours in support of Songs of Faith and Devotion. This was the first tour without keyboardist Alan Wilder since he joined the group in 1982; Wilder left the band indefinitely in 1995 citing an "imbalance in the distribution of the workload".

The tour began with a European leg, kicking off in Tartu, Estonia in early September and culminating in San Sebastián, Spain in mid-October. Later in the month, the band commenced a tour of North America, beginning in Worcester, Massachusetts. The eight week jaunt included an appearance at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas concert in Los Angeles. Billy Corgan, lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, performed the song "Never Let Me Down Again" with Depeche Mode at this concert. The tour eventually wrapped up in Anaheim, California in late December.

The tour marked the debut of two of the group's backing musicians: keyboardist Peter Gordeno, who replaced Wilder, and drummer Christian Eigner, who previously performed with the band in 1997 for two Ultra Parties concerts.
