MUSIC INTERVIEWS
UPDATED WEEKLY

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).

Behind the Setlist preview

Billboard has a new podcast coming up called Behind the Setlist where artists talk about the songs they play live. Sometimes we talk about a specific concert. Other times we discuss how the artist approaches building a setlist and taking the audience on a journey. And we always talk about the cover songs artists play and why they choose them. Our initial episodes will be Ann Wilson (from Heart), Andy Grammer, Curt Smith from Tears for Fears, Simple Plan and John Waite of Bad English and The Babys. Learn more about your ad choices.
