Exciter Tour was a 2001 concert tour by English electronic band Depeche Mode in support of the group's 10th studio album, Exciter, which was released in May 2001.
The tour began with a North American leg; the group performed one rehearsal show and two "warm-up" concerts prior to the official tour kick-off in Montreal, Canada in mid-June. The leg continued until mid-August, concluding with two shows in Anaheim, California.
In late August 2001, the group began a European leg, which kicked off in Tallinn and culminated early November in Mannheim, Germany. This was the final show of the tour; a second European leg was planned for the summer of 2002, however this never materialised. In total, the band played 84 concerts, performing to over 1.5 million people in 24 countries.
The concerts held in Paris were filmed and later issued in May 2002 on a DVD release entitled One Night in Paris.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:
“Left Washington, September 6, on a tour through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.... Absent nineteen days. Received every where heartily. The country is again one and united! I am very happy to be able to feel that the course taken has turned out so well.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
