Follow Me is a standard pop song with electronic and dubstep elements which made it a good candidate for a single. As a result, during The 2nd Law Tour it would make consistent appearances at nearly every gig, the second highest performance count from that era of any song with the sole exception of Madness. After 2013, however, it has yet to make a single appearance in a live concert. Alongside other singles Survival, Supremacy and Panic Station, it has rarely made an appearance since. The band revealed that many songs from The 2nd Law wouldn't be performed again because of being "complicated to perform live" (this most likely refers to Survival and Follow Me). The band have acknowledged the song during the Drones Tour, at one point taking a photo of a truck with a flashing "FOLLOW ME" light on its roof, but have yet to perform the song since 2013.
Follow Me was a live staple during The 2nd Law Tour, appearing at virtually every gig, giving it the second highest performance count from that era of any song with the sole exception of Madness. However, after the conclusion of the tour in 2013, the song was dropped from the setlists. While it looks unlikely it will be played live again anytime soon, it was a setlist option at the [[London Shepherds Bush_Empire 2017 (gig)|2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire]] by request gig, indicating the band haven't given up on the song yet.
 
Early performances of the song featured Matt on guitar, but starting with the Arena Tour in October Matt plays no instrument, and instead he just sings and walks around on the stage. Many performances often also had C02 cannons blast off at the end of the song.

Analysis and Explanation

Follow Me was a live staple during The 2nd Law Tour, appearing at virtually every gig, giving it the second highest performance count from that era of any song with the sole exception of Madness. However, after the conclusion of the tour in 2013, the song was dropped from the setlists. While it looks unlikely it will be played live again anytime soon, it was a setlist option at the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by request gig, indicating the band haven't given up on the song yet.

Early performances of the song featured Matt on guitar, but starting with the Arena Tour in October Matt plays no instrument, and instead he just sings and walks around on the stage. Many performances often also had C02 cannons blast off at the end of the song.
