The band has played several festivals this year across the world and only a handful of arena shows. Their arena shows have been between 10 and 15 songs longer than their festival sets.

In Monterey, Mexico on Tuesday, they played 43 songs. Check out that setlist and other recent setlists at http://bit.ly/1bHAE2B
