Format

Hyde Park on 3 July 2022

The tour venues announced were typically large outdoor stadiums. An exception was the two Hyde Park, London shows, which were open-space events with a 65,000 capacity.

As has been the case since the No Filter Tour, the stadium shows featured general admission standing areas. Premium-cost gold circle and pit sections closer to the stage were also offered to varying degrees at each venue.

There was no b-stage to which the band wholly relocated; however, a central outward walkway existed where band members typically moved into briefly throughout the shows.
