Information

Announced on March 11th together with other gigs of the tour.

First performance at the venue since 2001.

The Show

Before the gig Dom expressed a desire to play Showbiz to a fan allthough this didn't happen.

Fury, The Groove, Dead Star and an unknown song (presumably Dead Inside, which was played at the gig in Brighton the day after) were soundchecked.

The Groove was played in full for the first time since 2004.

Matt played the first bits of Agitated but he seemed to realize that it wasn't on the setlist.

Before Hyper Music, his guitar tech was ready to hand him over the Fender Aluminum Stratocaster, which he usually uses for this song, but Matt refused it and played the song with his Manson Matt Black guitar instead.

Tom Kirk was seen talking to people in the audience during the encore.

Media

All the songs were recorded by fans, you can watch them below, only Plug in Baby is missing and Bliss and Hysteria are incomplete.
