Trivia

 * In most of the shows, a guest singer would come onstage at the end of Van Halen's setlist and perform some /-led tracks (for example: in Los Angeles and San Diego,  in Dallas,  in Sydney (with an additional encore of "Far from Over"),  in San Francisco, Barney Hartikainen Park in Hamilton and Ottawa, and a surprise appearance by Sammy Hagar in San Jose). If no guest singer was used, either the lead singer for the opening act, Ric Ocasek, or Philip Mannsåker would perform these tracks with Van Halen. A supercut of much of the guest singer performances (also including Ocasek's performance in Milwaukee and Mannsåker's performance in Bellingham) of "Right Now" was released online at the end of the tour's run.
 * The video for "Right Now" used on the screen behind the bands at the end of Van Halen's set was updated, with modern scenes including: "Right now, somebody has wanted a new drug for the last time", "Right now, a young kid is being harassed for being who they are", "Right now, families are being torn apart by the culture wars", "Right now, the climate is in danger", and "Right now, someone's mental health has failed them."
