Mercy has been a constant part of the setlist since its live debut, only skipping five dates (15/05/2015, 16/05/2015, 08/06/2015, 11/11/2015, and 05/18/2017), of which the latter three were promotional gigs. The song, as one of the major singles from the album, will likely continue being performed at nearly every date of the tour. Confetti and streamers are often thrown out into the crowd during the last chorus when played live. Mercy was commonly introduced with Matt yelling "Put your hands in the air!!".

* JFK was played at a small amount of gigs in 2007 as intro music.

** Drones was played twice at every performance from its debut with three exceptions as of the last update. The actual total of gigs is highly inflated in comparison with other songs as a result. It has not been performed twice at festival dates, however, since the end of the 360 Tour in 2016. Back to Number of Live Performances
