The Show

Early on in the gig, an Irish flag was thrown onstage. Bellamy picked it up and handed it to Howard, who held it above the drumkit before draping it across it. Later, at some time during Knights of Cydonia, Bellamy wore the flag across his shoulders- the flag draped across the body of the guitar; Bellamy played the strings through the material. At the end of the song, Bellamy held the flag over the vertical gas vents and allowed them to buffet the flag. Bellamy then left the stage with the flag in hand.

Straight after New Born, Bellamy shouted, "Cheers Dublin! Good to be back in Ireland". Howard said sometime later, "How's it going, Dublin?".

Howard introduced "Unintended" saying, "Hi Dublin. We'd like you to take out your lighters, for the old schoolers, and your mobile phones, for the new schoolers, so we can light up this lovely venue here..."

Balloons were released during Plug in Baby. Bellamy played the intro to Plug In Baby lying down on his back at the edge of the stage.

At the very end, Dominic spoke into Wolstenholme's microphone to say "Thank you Dublin! You guys are amazing, thanks, see you again."
