Tonight, the Vertigo Tour recommenced in Brisbane and it saw a number of notable changes to the setlist. Yahweh was performed earlier than it has ever been played, a full band Walk On was performed for the first time since 27 February 2002, The Saints Are Coming was played for the first time by U2 alone, Angel Of Harlem was played for just the second time on tour, and Kite was played for the first time since 2 December 2001. This is the first time Kite has closed a show, it featured a didgeridoo, and during the song, Bono flew and released a kite. During Angel Of Harlem, Bono sung "Young Australians" to the tune of Young Americans.

Famous Vertigo Tour elements remain, such as the "coexist" segment in Sunday Bloody Sunday, the blindfold routine in Bullet The Blue Sky, the Human Rights Declaration segment before Pride, the Africa intro to Where The Streets Have No Name, and a speech relating to mobile phones before One. Sunday Bloody Sunday's speech segment began with Bono calling for David Hicks, an Australian held by the US in Guantanamo on suspicion of being a terrorist, to be returned to Australia in order to receive "a fair trial". On a lighter note, Bono made a funny comment at the start of his One speech: "look at that beautiful moon! Oh, it's a spotlight."
