Part of The Resistance Arena Tour
Information
The concert was part of the first European leg of The Resistance Tour, in support of the album The Resistance, announced on the 1st of June, 2009.[1] Fan pre-sale information and links were announced on the 3rd of June. Pre-sale took place on the 4th[5] and general sale started the following day.[1] Both pre-sale and general sale sold out, the latter in its first day.
The Show
After the band hesitated to play the song during the previous gig, "MK Ultra" was finally played for the first time, and it was played a half-step down from the album version. At the end of "Stockholm Syndrome" and it's riffs, Matt threw his Red Glitter Manson Guitar, neck first, through the top of one of Dom's Timpani, though the guitar was not damaged. Balloons were released during "Plug In Baby".
Before MK Ultra, Bellamy said "we're going to play a song we've never played before" and before Map Of The Problematique, Dom said (after a long pause) "Ok, now we're going to play the song".
