Analysis and Explanation

Unsustainable was a staple of The 2nd Law tour, usually being either the opener of the concert or the first song in the encore. During The Unsustainable Tour, the song also featured Charles the Robot on stage. It even made appearances at all three 2014 dates. The band played the song instrumentally with Matt performing no backing vocals.

The song made a few appearances in 2015 during the Festival Tour but was dropped before the Drones Arena Tour. These performances included additional drums played by Dom in the intro that do not feature on the album version (these additions would continue in its subsequent appearances). It returned 3 years later in 2018 and the Estadio San Mamés, Bilbao 2018 performance of this song became the first to feature Matt's vocals. It was included in the set during the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, being played midway through the set, though Matt returned to not singing the vocals. It has not been played live since the end of the Simulation Theory World Tour though it's fairly likely it'll return at some point.
