''Say Amen (Saturday Night)'' was performed during the encore and was one of the singles released to announce the new album.

Urie left the audience with an inspirational message after finishing his set: ''You had to race millions of tadpoles to the finish line, and the only reason you're here on this planet is because you already got first place.''
