The setlist for this tour is packed with highlights: classic solo tracks alongside a generous selection of songs from The Jam and The Style Council, plus an acoustic set for the first encore! On the opening night in Osaka, the band performed four new songs, along with rotating tracks such as "Above the Clouds," "Suzie's Room," "A Town Called Malice," "Monday," and "English Rose."

The subsequent Tokyo show featured five new songs, as well as live takes of five tracks performed exclusively on that night: "The Weaver," "She! - The Impossible Idea," "Gravity," "All on a Misty Morning," and "Hopper"! With rotating tracks like "The Changingman" and "Come On / Let's Go" also making an appearance, this was the tour's longest show—a thrilling, essential two-hour-and-ten-minute performance spanning 30 songs! The final Tokyo show features four new songs, plus live takes of "Let It Be Me," "That's Entertainment," and "Foot of the Mountain"—tracks performed exclusively on this night! With a rotating setlist that includes eleven songs from The Jam and The Style Council—such as "The Eton Rifles" and "A Town Called Malice"—this is a killer show that long-time fans will absolutely love!
