Europe
Stage Set-Up
The towers. Three towers.
Typical setlist
- We Are The Universe (intro music) + Uprising
- Resistance
- New Born
- Map of the Problematique
- Supermassive Black Hole
- Guiding Light
- Interlude + Hysteria
- United States of Eurasia
- Cave / Feeling Good
- Helsinki Jam + Undisclosed Desires
- Starlight
- Plug in Baby
- Time is Running Out
- Unnatural Selection
Encore 1
Variation
- Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1 (Overture) was used as the opener on the second night of the tour at Stockholm. It is suspected that this was due to a technical issue with the towers.
- Unintended was occasionally played before Helsinki Jam.
- During the Amnéville-les-Thermes gig, Nishe was played before United States of Eurasia. It would remain for the vast majority of the tour.
- On rare occasions, Unnatural Selection replaced Map of the Problematique, Stockholm Syndrome closed the main set and Plug in Baby was played after Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1 (Overture).
- MK ULTRA made it's live debut at Birmingham. It would make regular appearances throughout the rest of the tour, replacing, or being played in addition to, Guiding Light.
- Butterflies & Hurricanes was played at the Turin gig after Hysteria, as was Sunburn which replaced Cave / Feeling Good. Both would make rare appearances throughout the remainder of the Resistance tour.
Asia
A string of gigs were performed in South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong in early 2010. Despite a few minor mutations in the placement of certain songs in the set, the performances were similar to those of the European leg. However there were some (notable) exceptions.
- Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1 (Overture) was not played in Seoul.
- Bliss was played for the first time on the tour at Osaka, replacing Stockholm Syndrome. It would make rare appearances throughout the rest of the tour.
- Citizen Erased debuted at the Nagoya gig, also replacing Stockholm Syndrome. Like Bliss, it would show up from time to time.
- During the Tokyo gig Can't Take My Eyes Off You was played for the first time since 2002. Dead Star also made it's tour debut at this gig with the Micro Cuts ending riff replacing the second half. They replaced MK ULTRA and Stockholm Syndrome.
- Dead Star was played again at the Hong Kong gig, also with the Micro Cuts riff at the end. This is the last time Dead Star would be seen until The 2nd Law Tour in 2013.
A series of festival dates in Australia and New Zealand took place between the Japan and Singapore gigs. Despite some oddities in the order of the setlist, these were identical to previous gigs, albeit shorter.
North America + Mexico
There were very few changes on this leg of the tour. However,
- Ruled By Secrecy returned to setlists for the first time since 2007 at the Edmonton gig. It was played again at Seattle.
