The Show

Undisclosed Desires and Stockholm Syndrome were played in the rotations slots. Responding to fans holding signs requesting Citizen Erased, which was supposed to be played in the rotation slot, Matt said Dom disagreed on playing Citizen that night, and the band instead chose Stockholm Syndrome. Bellamy dedicated the song to this year's 20th anniversary of Absolution. Stockholm Syndrome also strangely wasn't followed by any riffs/medley songs, marking the first time since 2006 that this occurred.

Drill Sergeant + Psycho had to be restarted due to technical difficulties with Matt's guitar.
