The Exotic Tour/Summer Tour '94 was a 1994 concert tour by English electronic group Depeche Mode in support of the act's eighth studio album, Songs of Faith and Devotion, which was released in March 1993. The tour is an extension of the Devotional Tour in 1993, which reached Europe and North America.[1] The tour visited territories which the band had never performed in or had not toured in for some time, reaching Africa, Asia, Australia, and South America.[2]

The tour marked a tumultuous time for the group, with keyboardist Andy Fletcher taking leave from touring duties after two months due to "mental instability" and lead singer Dave Gahan's continuing issues with drug addiction.[3] He was replaced by Daryl Bamonte on all dates from April to July.[4] This is the last tour with Alan Wilder as a member of Depeche Mode.
