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.[5] Pre-sale took place on the 4th[5] and general sale started the following day.[1] Both pre-sale and general sale sold out, the latter in its first day.[source?]
On playing songs from "The Resistance" live, Dominic Howard stated that learning to do so "should take a while!"[6] and Rehearsals started on the 19th of July.[7] On the 22nd, musewire readers were told to "expect an 8" stone 'enge" for The Resistance tour's stage design.[8]
" MK ULTRA" was played for the first time. At the end of " Stockholm Syndrome" + Riffs, Matt threw his Red Glitter Manson Guitar, neck first, through the top of one of Dom's Timpani. The balloons were released during " Plug in Baby".
