==Lighting==
The lighting for the summer tour was a change from the winter and spring "teeth" panels. A grid of lights in the form of a cage hung over the stage, occasionally moving down to provide visuals. Large vertical rectangular panels were in the background akin to those from [[Fragility 2.0]], except there were more than 3 and they were not mobile. Combined, this lightshow induces an amphitheater sized disco.

==Setlist==
Signature aspects of this tour, omitting the usual suspects:
* "'''[[Somewhat Damaged]]'''" - With the house lights still on, [[Trent Reznor|Trent]] would suddenly appear near the cage and begin the first verse right away. This caught fans unsuspected as the band had usually begun shows with a pre-recorded track such as "[[Pinion]]" to build up the hype.
[[Image:BYIT14.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Trent making innuendos in front of the light panels during "[[Closer]]".]]
* "'''[[Closer]]'''" with "[[The Only Time]]" breakdown - Trent stood in front of the center panel whilst it glowed red, reminiscent of [[Fragility 2.0]]. This produced an illusionary silhouette effect, especially for the audience members far away from the stage; it looked like the lights were moving instead of the completely contrasted dark figure that was Trent.
* "'''[[Help Me I Am In Hell]]'''" - Cage was down for "lava lamp" visuals.
* "'''[[Non-Entity]]'''" - The previous song hyped the crowd up for "[[Happiness In Slavery]]", but instead of havoc-wreaking machinery they heard this instead. The upside is the eerie "fading away" shadows on the cage during the chorus.
* "'''[[Only (song)|Only]]'''" - Pixel-y static visuals zooming in and out due to the contrast twixt cage and panels.
* "'''[[La Mer]]'''" - Trent begins by improvising on the keyboard a bit, and then lead into the beginning of "La Mer". [[Aaron North|Aaron]] joins in with arguably horrible timing, and right when the build up is supposed to occur, the band directly cuts to "[[Into the Void (song)|Into The Void]]", a song with the same theme. The panels glow pink for "Into the Void".
* "'''[[The Big Come Down]]'''"
* "'''[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]'''" - energetic song always used to end the show
