The Stockholm setlist was notably more adventurous than the standard Out There Tour set. 'Temporary Secretary' – the quirky, synth-driven track from McCartney's 1980 album McCartney II – was a rare live outing for one of his most unusual recordings. 'One After 909' – one of the earliest Lennon-McCartney compositions, recorded by The Beatles in 1963 and released on Let It Be in 1970 – was another infrequent inclusion. 'Another Girl' from Help! (1965) was similarly rare in a live context.

The encore included 'Birthday' – the hard-rocking White Album track – and 'Can't Buy Me Love', giving the Stockholm audience a particularly energetic finish before 'Yesterday', 'Helter Skelter', and the Abbey Road medley closed the show. 'Hope For The Future' was from the Destiny video game soundtrack McCartney had contributed to in 2014.
