Spot on. That’s the last time they tried it and the 2nd Show was postponed on Doctors’ orders. It took place a month later.

Also one of the two Amsterdam Arena shows was postponed (just prior to Twickenham), but don't know if they were originally scheduled on consecutive nights.

They also stopped having only one night rest between two shows in 2014. 2013 had plenty of such concerts, but since october 2014 they scheduled min 2 days rest between shows.

they were.
Amsterdam 19-20 August
Twickenham 23-24 August
the shows scheduled for 20 & 23 August were postponed (Amsterdam on the day of the show and Twickenham the day before it), and then at the start of September the Wembley Arena dates scheduled for 14 & 15 September were changed to 13 & 15 September.
They've never performed back to back full length shows since. The Wembley dates were the last time they scheduled shows on consecutive nights but the Rotterdam/Utrecht gigs on August 16/17 were the last time they actually did back to back performances.
My favourite story that came out of all that mess concerned the travel company who pulled up outside Wembley Arena on the afternoon of Sunday September 14th with a coachload of about 40-50 passengers, all of whom were oblivious to the fact that the show had taken place the day before. It appeared that none of them (including the organisers) used the internet much!

When was the last time they did a same day double header? The only artist I'm aware of that still frequently does in arenas or stadiums is Garth Brooks.

Oshawa 1979 would be the very last one.
