Analysis and Explanation

Animals made it's debut in 2012 and was was one of the most performed songs during 2012, appearing at most gigs throughout the year and was routinely performed until March 2013, after which it was usually performed at every other night. The Unsustainable Stadium Tour however brought Animals back into a permanent setlist position. For this tour, an actor playing a banker would come onto the stage towards the end of the song holding large amounts of "Musos" (the band's fictional currency used on the tour), who would then suffer some sort of trauma and collapse dead on the stage during the outro. After July 2013, the song was played eight more times until the end of the year. The song also appeared twice in 2014, with the banker actor returning as well.

Animals reappeared for ten performances throughout 2015 before being dropped for the rest of the tour, making no appearances during the main Drones World Tour. It hasn't made an appearance since then, though it was a setlist option at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by request gig, which indicates the band haven't ruled out playing the song live again.
