  • Will's right hand, in which he holds the light cluster, is now flown from trussing and able to move around, as opposed to being static and placed on the ground.
  • Tour debut and first live performance of Verona.
  • Tour debut of Isolated System's shortened version and Resistance, both played for the first time since 2018, with Dom playing a sample pad on the B-stage for Isolated System, wearing the hacker mask.
  • The Dark Side's Alternate Reality Version Instrumental was played live for the first time, with Matt sitting on Will the Hacker's inflatable shoulder while playing slide guitar.
  • Between We Are Fucking Fucked and The Dark Side 3 performers came on stage dressed as the band members and wearing the Compliance video masks.watch watch
