This show featured the debut of Police Truck (Dead Kennedys). Before the band's set, Roberto Mukaro Borrero of the Guainía Taíno Tribe gave a land acknowledgment to the Ute people and performed a Native American song. Gamma Knife contained a Motor Spirit tease. Mr. Beat contained Money For Nothing (Dire Straits) and People-Vultures teases. A fan named Dog was brought on to do the Nuclear Fusion intro. Oddlife was paused after beginning for approximately 10 minutes due to a medical emergency in the audience. Following Intrasport, which was played without the synth table, Joey said he felt like Liam Gallagher of Oasis (as he doesn't play his guitar, and has a tambourine during live performances). Following Extinction, the band shouted out White Fence and talked about their 2014 tour with the band. I'm Not In Your Mind contained an Extinction tease. Cellophane contained a What If (The Murlocs) tease from Ambrose. Inner Cell was introduced as a song about dictators and how they're losers. Loyalty contained a Horology tease. Venusian 2 was introduced as a song about "going to Venus and being set on fire." After Venusian 2, the band thanked Cavs for playing at a high altitude for 3 hours, with Stu saying to get him some oxygen and jellybeans. Following Witchcraft the band shouted out Gaspard, the band's sound tech, who brought them tequila shots. Gaia featured a drum solo by Cavs and contained Am I In Heaven? and Magma teases. Police Truck featured Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra on vocals and contained a Robot Stop tease. Before the song, Joey said the Dead Kennedys were a huge inspiration on their early material (with Stu giving Trench Foot as an example), and Ambrose told a story about how they applied to open for the band (who Jello called the 'phony Dead Kennedys') in Melbourne, but were declined. Following the song, Stu said "Free Palestine and Fuck the Police!" Evil Death Roll was not on the printed setlist and contained Field of Vision quotes, an Iron Lung jam with lyrics, and Am I In Heaven? teases. During the slower quiet section (and subsequent Iron Lung jam) Ambrose directed the crowd to sit down and jump up when the song kicked back in. At the end of the show, Joey said Free Palestine. During The Songs For Kids Band!'s set earlier in the day, Stu, Lucas, and Cavs joined the band for a cover of Flight b741.
