The ABC have just announced an exciting new TV program centred around live music performances. Hosted by triple j‘s Linda Marigliano and Dylan Alcott, The Set will bring viewers live performances from artists like Angus and Julia Stone, Vera Blue, Ball Park Music and The Presets.
Across the series, headline artists will curate the line-up for each program by inviting two guest acts to perform live. They’ll then close out the show with a special one-off musical collaboration.
Expect to see artists like Illy, Odette, Baker Boy, Wafia, Mallrat, Angie McMahon, Tia Gostelow, LANKS and Kult Kyss popping up throughout the series.
The Set will be broadcast Wednesdays from 9.30pm on ABC and iview, and then again on Saturdays from 10pm – with an extra half an hour of live music and antics.
The Set continues ABC’s much-loved live music tradition, in the spirit of shows like Countdown and Recovery, but in a unique format that is the first of its kind.
ABC’s Head of Music and Creative Development, Chris Scaddan, says “There’s a real energy inside the ABC about this show. Everyone is really proud to be filling the studios with so much great Australian musical talent. The Set will be something for a new generation of music lovers to call their own.”
