The tour featured a 75-minute set combining music from both Porter Robinson and Madeon into one enormous tapestry centered around a three-track core of "Language", "Technicolor", and "Shelter". The set opened with a stripped-down bit of "Language" as the intro for "Shelter" and closed with an encore that mirrors the pattern via an acoustic "Shelter" transitioning into "Language" (with samples from "Imperium"). The main melodies from each song were featured throughout the show.
