This show was the band's fourth annual drag night and featured the debut of Sapience, Superheavy, Supercritical, and the metal arrangement of Gilgamesh. Pill, which was the first known standalone Pill, was continued from the previous night's Head On/Pill and contained The Dripping Tap teases and quotes, Hypertension drums, and Sea of Trees teases. Sea of Trees contained a Head On/Pill jam and a drum solo from Cavs. The Book had a lyric changed to "God's not real". This Thing had a Hot Water tease. During This Thing, lightning struck behind the stage eliciting huge cheers from the audience. Hell's Itch contained a Pure Shores (All Saints) vocal jam. Dragon was introduced as being about Cookiedawg and contained a false start. The Great Chain of Being was played for the first time since 2025-05-23. (51 show gap) Ambergris contained a Work This Time tease.
Notable performances
- Sea of Trees
- The Book — At time of writing, the longest The Book not including a traditional drum solo. This rendition evolved into a driving outro jam featuring high energy drumming and guitar shredding.
- Murder of the Universe
- Hell's Itch — This rendition featured solid vocals, groovy drumming, a vocal “Pure Shores” jam, and Stu on flute. Additionally featured alternate lyrics from Joey referencing the festival.
- Work This Time — After being teased in Ambergris, Work This Time starts with Joey launching into his solo in the intro rather than the typical point later on in the song. The latter part of the song still included a full-band jam which sometimes replaces the guitar solo.
