The light grid cage, whatever you want to call it, presumably moving up during the opener, "Somewhat Damaged".

Lighting

The lighting for the summer tour was a change from the winter and spring "teeth" panels. A grid of lights in the form of a cage hung over the stage, occasionally moving down to provide visuals. Large vertical rectangular panels were in the background akin to those from Fragility 2.0, except there were more than 3 and they were not mobile. Combined, this lightshow induces an amphitheater sized disco.

Setlist

Signature aspects of this tour, omitting the usual suspects:

• "Somewhat Damaged" - With the house lights still on, Trent would suddenly appear near the cage and begin the first verse right away. This caught fans unsuspected as the band had usually begun shows with a pre-recorded track such as "Pinion" to build up the hype.

Trent making innuendos in front of the light panels during "Closer".

• "Closer" with "The Only Time" breakdown - Trent stood in front of the center panel whilst it glowed red, reminiscent of Fragility 2.0. This produced an illusionary silhouette effect, especially for the audience members far away from the stage; it looked like the lights were moving instead of the completely contrasted dark figure that was Trent.
• "Help Me I Am In Hell" - Cage was down for "lava lamp" visuals.
• "Non-Entity" - The previous song hyped the crowd up for "Happiness In Slavery", but instead of havoc-wreaking machinery they heard this instead. The upside is the eerie "fading away" shadows on the cage during the chorus.
• "Only" - Pixel-y static visuals zooming in and out due to the contrast twixt cage and panels.
• "La Mer" - Trent begins by improvising on the keyboard a bit, and then lead into the beginning of "La Mer". Aaron joins in, and right when the build up is supposed to occur, the band directly cuts to "Into The Void", a song with the same theme. The panels glow pink for "Into the Void".
• "The Big Come Down"
• "Head Like A Hole" - energetic song always used to end the show
