  • For the European leg of the tour, Weezer changed their setlist around some to reflect their newly released EPs; SZNZ: Spring and SZNZ: Summer, as well as their recent cover of "Enter Sandman".
  • Green Day also changed their setlist slightly during the European Leg, removing "Pollyanna", "She", and "Still Breathing" which were replaced with "Waiting", "King For a Day", and their cover of "Shout" by The Isley Brothers.
