This show was the band's fourth annual drag night and featured the debut of Sapience, Superheavy, Supercritical, and the metal arrangement of Gilgamesh. At the start of the show the band was introduced as "Queen Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard" by Pattie Gonia and her fellow drag artists. Pill, which was the first known standalone Pill, was continued from the previous night's Head On/Pill and contained The Dripping Tap teases & quotes and Sea of Trees teases. Sea of Trees contained teases of The Dripping Tap, Cut Throat Boogie and Head On/Pill and featured a drum solo by Cavs. Anoxia was introduced as a song about wildfires. The Book had a lyric changed to "God's not real." Slow Jam 1 contained an Ice V jam with lyrics. Hell's Itch contained a Pure Shores (All Saints) vocal jam. This Thing contained Hot Water teases. During This Thing, lightning struck behind the stage eliciting huge cheers from the audience. Dragon was introduced as a song about Cookiedawg and had 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. Ice V was on the printed setlist following Slow Jam 1 but was only played as a brief jam within Slow Jam 1, not as a separate performance. The Lord of Lightning and The Balrog were on the printed setlist following Ambergris but were not played.
Notable performances
- Sea of Trees
- The Book — Rather than 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.
