They launched their set in a room where they played arcade games and sang Be track “Telepathy,” which marked the first time the band has performed the upbeat song live. “Blue & Grey” was another song they premiered live for the first time. They changed settings to go along with the introspective ballad, performing the song against a sun-kissed backdrop, surrounded by greenery.
The group also surprised fans with a cover of Coldplay’s contemplative “Fix You,” followed by their own reflective song, the Number One-charting “Life Goes On.” Wearing coordinated khakis and blazers, they performed “Life Goes On” while seated in a living room setting, backed by a four-piece live band. They saved their megahit for last, closing their show with “Dynamite.”
