== Analysis and Explanation ==
Thought Contagion, as the second single to be released off [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]], was performed live for the first time in 2018 at the Paris Cigale "by-request" show. It was received surprisingly positively by the crowd, dedicated fans who had traveled for miles to hear the band perform a setlist filled with songs such as [[Eternally Missed (live)|Eternally Missed]] and [[Space Dementia (live)|Space Dementia]] live. Long-time fans and new fans tend to agree that Thought Contagion is a welcome addition to the live repertoire, a notable contrast to the controversial [[Dig Down (song)|Dig Down]], released the year prior.

To no surprise, Thought Contagion was performed at every 2018 show, with the added bonus of the majority of the 2018 shows released online in pro-shot quality. It is believed that Thought Contagion, as the band's highest charting song in years, will continue to hold a strong setlist presence in the upcoming Simulation Theory  tour in 2019.
To no surprise, Thought Contagion was performed at every 2018 show and continued to be played at every gig during the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, becoming a live staple. From 2019 onwards, Matt only plays guitar during the intro, bridge, solo and final chorus - leaving the rest of the guitar parts to Morgan/Dan while he walks around on stage encouraging fans to sing along. These performances also featured backing dancers. The song once again returned in 2022 and has made regular appearances throughout 2022 and 2023.

This page contains a list of all known performances of Thought Contagion.

Analysis and Explanation

Thought Contagion, as the second single to be released off Simulation Theory, was performed live for the first time in 2018 at the Paris Cigale "by-request" show. It was received surprisingly positively by the crowd, dedicated fans who had traveled for miles to hear the band perform a setlist filled with songs such as Eternally Missed and Space Dementia live.

To no surprise, Thought Contagion was performed at every 2018 show and continued to be played at every gig during the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, becoming a live staple. From 2019 onwards, Matt only plays guitar during the intro, bridge, solo and final chorus - leaving the rest of the guitar parts to Morgan/Dan while he walks around on stage encouraging fans to sing along. These performances also featured backing dancers. The song once again returned in 2022 and has made regular appearances throughout 2022 and 2023.
