The show

Except the performance at Dundee in 2006 when Bellamy didn't play the melody of verses at the guitar, this the last known performance of Sunburn when the whole song was played at the guitar. It is probable that the next few performances were also on guitar according to the placement of the song into the setlists but there are no recordings.

Per an instagram post by Marc Carolan (FOH for Muse), the in-house screen became stuck just before the start of the show. "Security had to clear a space so the riggers could drop the screen safely" The crowd had to clear out a large space in the center of the arena.
