Stage Set-Up
This tour incorporated a very elaborate visual display, incorporating a screen behind the stage, light columns, geometric "teeth" lights inspired by the With Teeth era artwork, a grid of overhead lights, and a sheer silver screen that would drop in front of the stage. Each show began with the screen dropped down in front of the stage and would be raised as the third song in the set ("You Know What You Are?" or "Wish") began. It would drop down again halfway through the set for "Eraser," "Right Where It Belongs" and "Beside You In Time," with film footage directed by Andrea Giacobbe projected onto the screen for the former two songs. Near the end of "Beside You In Time," Reznor "shattered" the screen with his mic stand, prompting it to be raised.
Setlists
The shows had a setlist that remained fairly consistent throughout the tour. There was little to no change in the setlists during the period in which Carapetis was with the band. "Deep", "Only", "Right Where It Belongs", "Not So Pretty Now" and full version of "Beside You In Time" made their live debut on this tour.
Pre-show music
In a question submitted to nin.com/access, a fan asked what music was being played before the With Teeth Touring Cycle shows, and Reznor posted a list of songs.
