The band's setlist was as follows:
'Modern Day Delilah'
'Cold Gin'
'Let Me Go Rock And Roll'
'Say Yeah'
'Calling Dr. Love'
'Got To Choose'
'I Love It Loud'
'100,000 Years'
'Love Gun'
'Black Diamond'
'Rock And Roll All Nite'
'Detroit Rock City'
'Deuce', 'Shout It Out Loud' and 'Lick It Up' were slated to be part of the set list but were reportedly dropped as Paul Stanley was apparently suffering from an unknown throat problem. This concert marks the first time 'Modern Day Delilah' was used as a set opener.
According to a KISSOnline report: "KISS blew the roof off the O2 Academy tonight! The band was on fire, ripping through a ferocious set for the lucky fans in attendance! Words do not do enough justice to express how TINY this venue is, and the KISS Army packed it seemingly beyond capacity! It was wall-to-wall KISS fans, singing and screaming at the tops of their lungs. The guys clearly enjoyed themselves on stage tonight, and it was a rare treat to see KISS in such an intimate setting!"
