The concert was announced on the 21st of October,[4] the reason citing "unbelievable" demand for the previous night's pre-sale.[4] General sale started on the 23rd October 2004 at 09:00.[4] More tickets were put on sale on the 19th of November at 09:00 through gigsandtours.com.[5]
This was the 'black jacket' gig and featured a slightly different set list to the night before.
Dominic Howard and Christopher Wolstenholme opened up the gig, while Matthew Bellamy ran around backstage with a camera (as he did the previous night).[3] However, this time Matthew Bellamy had a monkey hand puppet on which he danced around on camera.[3]
After The Small Print, Bellamy broke the Ibanez guitar he was playing, picked it up, walked to the edge of the stage and threw his guitar into the audience.[3] The Micro Cuts ending slowed down to an almost complete stop. Thomas Kirk said that Blackout "was fucking ace", in response to the question "how cool was blackout! ;)".[6]
These were the last performances of Glorious, Ruled by Secrecy and The Small Print in the UK.
