On September 2nd 2026, The Residents performed Eskimo Live! at the second of two shows at the Blue Note Hawaii in Honolulu, Hawaii.
It was the group's second ever live appearance in Hawaii (following the previous night's show), and their fourth live performance of their 1979 concept album Eskimo, following a March 2024 appearance at Night of Ideas in San Francisco, and a more elaborate rendition of the album at Exotikon Exotica and Tiki Festival in Los Angeles in June 2025.
As with the previous night's show, no merchandise was available for sale; this was apparently because the two Honolulu dates were "add-ons" to The Residents' three night residency at the Blue Note in Tokyo, and the group's merchandise had been sent to Japan ahead of these shows.[1]
Set list

The full set list for the Blue Note Hawaii shows has not been confirmed officially, however one attendee provided the following approximation of the set list for the September 1st show; it can be assumed that the set list for the show on September 2nd was largely or wholly the same.
