triple j and ABC are launching a new live music TV series.
 
Hosted by triple j’s Linda Marigliano and Dylan Alcott, The Set will make its debut during Ausmusic Month this November, kicking off on 31 October at 9.30pm on ABC and iview.
 
The show will feature performances from some of the biggest and very best Australian performing to a live audience of 250 people.
 
Angus and Julia Stone, Vera Blue, Ball Park Music and The Presets will be stopping by and they’re bringing their mates.
 
Across the series, headline artists will curate the line-up for each program by inviting two guest acts to perform live before closing 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.
 
Artists will perform at The Set’s purpose-built share house set, back yard and all.
 
Co-hosts Linda Marigliano and Dylan Alcott say, “We’ve been keeping The Set a secret for a while now and are pumped to finally share this news with you. A new live music TV show is going to be a great thing for Australian music, and hosting it together is a bloody dream come true.”
 
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.”
 
“The Set will be something for a new generation of music lovers to call their own.”
