Set list
This set list is representative of the show on February 16, 2017, in Anaheim. It is not representative of all concerts for the duration of the tour.[ 3]
Notes
During the show in Camden, Twenty One Pilots performed and dedicated "Doubt " to Christina Grimmie . Grimmie died on June 10, 2016, of gunshot wounds inflicted in an attack following her concert performance in Orlando.[ 4]
During the Charlotte, NC stop of the tour on June 28, 2016 the band performed "Heathens" for the first time and it was added to the setlist after.
During their performance at the Reading and Leeds Festival on August 26, 2016, as Joseph attempted a crowd surf, he was abruptly attacked by the crowd and pulled under as various possessions of his were stolen and clothes were ripped. Once Joseph made it safely to an elevated platform, he bluntly called out to fellow band mate Josh Dun , "We've gotta be done. That's it." They had to end the set without playing the grand finale "Trees", as they were 10 minutes over the allotted amount of time they were meant to be on-stage.[ 5]
