A one-off intimate warmup show before the band's European festival run in 2025.

Information

The show was announced on May 13th, 2025, less than a month before the show, and is happening 2 days before their concert at the Rockfest festival in Turku. Tickets went on sale the day after, on May 14th, at 11am EET, and were sold out in less than an hour.

The Show

• Unravelling was played live for the first time, with Matt using his new Oryx 8-String guitar for the song.
• United States of Eurasia was played live for the first time in 9 years.
• A new version of Isolated System also made it's live debut, this being in the form of a trance remix made by Dan Lancaster. It featured Dom playing both electronic and acoustic drums, and Dan on synths and samples. After the song Matt humerously commented "That's what happens when you give Dom acid".
• The Kill or Be Killed (Felsmann + Tiley Reinterpretation) was also played in a new form - being both shortened (first verse and chorus were skipped), remixed, and featuring live accompaniment from Dom, Chris, and Dan (as opposed to being fully played from tape as before).
• Time Is Running Out and Knights of Cydonia were played half a step down for the first time to accomodate Matt's aging vocal range.
• Prior to Will of the People, a section of fans began chanting for Dead Star to be played - to which Matt responded that the band hadn't rehearsed the song so it wouldn't be played, but added that they may play it "next time".
