The setlist spanned his well-known hits and newer releases, each song received with a chorus of voices singing along in unison. His storytelling between songs added further context, giving fans a glimpse into the emotions and experiences behind his lyrics.

Overall, the 12 Notes Tour was a memorable experience. With the addition of a set design, Benjamin elevated the live experience, giving fans not only a sonic journey but a visual one as well.
