Behind the Setlist

At Behind the Setlist, we talk to artists to get the stories about the songs they play live. Most artists are known best for their recordings, but they love to be on stage. That's where the music feels at home. That's where they connect with the audience. How do they pick the songs to take the audience on a journey? Why do they cover other artists' songs? How many new songs can an artist fit into a 16-song set when people want to hear the classics? We find out. Hosted by Glenn Peoples (Billboard) and Jay Gilbert (Label Logic).

Interested in voices who can shed light on the art and science of live performances, Behind the Setlist is seeking musicians, tour managers, or music producers who have deep insights into crafting compelling setlists, engaging with live audiences, and the decision-making process behind performing covers and new tracks alongside classic hits.
