Part of The Resistance Arena Tour

Information

This concert was part of the European leg of "The Resistance" tour, announced on the 1st of June 2009, with general ticket sale starting on the 5th thereof, at 09:00. Fan pre-sale information and links were given on the 3rd and pre-sale sold out on the given day - the 4th.

The band thanked the crowd numerous times during the show, as well as Dom thanking The Big Pink. After Map Of The Problematique, Matt said "It's getting hot" and removed his jacket to which the crowd cheered. Bellamy let the crowd sing the second chorus of Plug In Baby as well as the first pre-chorus and part of the chorus in Time Is Running Out. After Knights of Cydonia, Howard said to the fans, "Cheers Scotland, see you's next Summer!" Possibly a hint towards T In The Park 2010.

This gig was due to be the debut live performance of MK Ultra but the band decided at the last minute not to play it. After Feeling Good, Tom Kirk's cousin Callum Taylor came on stage, wearing a kilt, and began playing on a bagpipe. This morphed into the Helsinki Jam. The bagpiper was raised up on Chris' (stage-left) podium during the jam, which was dubbed by the fans as Glasgow Jam or Bagpipe Jam. Two crypic clues were given to lead fans to this (a jar of apricot jam and a picture of Glasgow Science Centre entitled "What" and "Where" respectively").
