"Soldier's Poem" was on the set list in brackets before "Knights of Cydonia", but was not played. Chris appears to have either missed his cue, or his bass guitar cut on the first strike of "Hysteria".^[2]

Muse were originally scheduled to go on stage at 21:00, but they were apparently delayed until 21:30.

"Fury" was played in B flat. Balloons were released during "Bliss", and CO₂ shot up in "Butterflies and Hurricanes" and "Knights of Cydonia".
