This concert was part of the European leg of "The Resistance" tour, announced on the 1st of June.[1] Fan pre-sale information and links were announced on the 3rd of June.[3] Pre-sale took place on the 4th[3] and general sale started the following day.[1]
On playing songs from "The Resistance" live, Dominic Howard stated that learning to do so "should take a while!"[4]. Rehearsals started on the 19th of July.[5] On the 22nd, musewire readers were told to "expect an 8" stone 'enge" for The Resistance tour's stage design.[6]
Straight after New Born, Bellamy shouted, "Hello Dublin!". Howard said sometime later, "How's it going, Dublin?". Before Unintended, Howard stood up with the mic and said, "Hi, Dublin...we'd like you all to get your lighters out...this is one for the old ones, and also the new ones..." At the end of the concert, Howard spoke into Wolstenholme's microphone, but was indistinguishable aside from "see you again" due to the distortion.
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, and 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.
Setlist
Nishe, the Who Knows Who riff and the Execution Commentary riff were also played at some points.
