The only real new guy is J. Shanks (I don't count Everett because to me he adds nothing music-wise but vocal-wise and that's no problem with all those teleprompters).
And as professionals practicing 100 songs for over a week gives Jon the freedom to randomly start pulling out different tracks.
Remember the last tour? They only had the chance to rehearse with Phil during soundcheck or time-off between shows and they were able to mix it up. With all that time of praciticing before this tour now there should be no problem at all.
I already said it in another thread before: The static setlist is not a matter of the band but a matter of Jon. And only he knows why he keeps it that way.
But I also hear the other user, it's show number 4 and the US leg. Those static sets are nothing new.
