This gig was the last on the Resistance World Tour. Tickets went on sale 7th June, following a fan pre‐sale on the 4th. Biffy Clyro was announced as support act for this concert on 26th of August, as well as for Sydney and Melbourne gigs.

There were some technical difficulties with the large screens either side of the stage. These were eventually fixed during New Born. Matthew Bellamy threw his Manson Santa 2.0 repeatedly at Dominic Howard—who flinched at the end of the post–Stockholm-Syndrome riffs—though it wasn't overly damaged. Balloons were released during Plug In Baby. While playing War Within a Breath, Bellamy performed the "tripod" move which Tom Morello used during Rock am Ring. In an interview with MTV [watch], Bellamy described this move as "out of this world".

After Knights of Cydonia	Bellamy	"Thank you Perth, Thank you Australia, we love you guys!"
After Knights of Cydonia	Howard	"Thank you Perth, we love you guys, you guys rock! Thank you so much, we'll definitely see you again, thank you, cheers!"
