Survival (live)

This page contains a list of all known performances of Survival.

Analysis and Explanation

Survival is a massive stadium-rocker that made appearances at nearly every gig on The 2nd Law Tour. Despite only one promotional appearance, at the 2012 Olympics, Survival still managed to have over 115 performances during the tour. After 2014, however, it has yet to make a single appearance in a live concert. Alongside other singles Follow Me, Supremacy and Panic Station, it has rarely made an appearance since 2013. 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). Prelude, the intro to Survival, has been performed many times on the Drones Tour, however Survival has yet to make a reappearance.
