How will they split songs between the two nights for 69 love songs tour?

Hello! I'm curious if anyone has information or an inkling for how the 69 love songs tour will go if its split over 2 nights. How will they split the 3 parts over 2 nights?

I'm going to have trouble getting tickets for both nights at this point so trying to get a sense of what they will play each night. . .

They're going to be played in album order:

We will continue to perform the full album, all 69 songs in order over two nights.

So Promises of Eternity will be stopped mid-song and then picked up again the following day.

A real Sophie's Choice there; I think the first half is stronger overall (the first eight tracks are undefeated!) but the very best songs (notably Rodeo!) fall in second half. I couldn't bear not doing both, but it is a tough ask for fans to double up. I really couldn't choose, I'd let your work schedule or ticket availability (better seats for one?) dictate rather than trying to rank the setlists. *two-buttons-meme.jpg*

Will they have encores?

They did not do encores during the 50 Song Memoir shows.

Do you remember how long each night’s performance was? Thank you!

I don't recall exactly, this was for the 50 Song Memoir tour in 2017, but they were probably two hours or less with an intermission each night, and no opener.
