Triple J and the ABC have just announced a new live music TV show called The Set, set to launch in November with Angus and Julia Stone and The Presets amongst the first guests.
A “TV series like no other”, 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.
Illy, Odette, Baker Boy, Wafia, Mallrat, Angie McMahon, Tia Gostelow, LANKS and Kult Kyss are also set to feature throughout the series.
Marigliano and 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 show will be filmed in front of a 250-person-strong live audience in a “purpose-built share house set, backyard and all”.
The Set follows in the footsteps of previous ABC music shows like Countdown and Recovery.
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.”
The Set will be broadcast Wednesdays from 9.30 pm on ABC and iview, and then again on Saturdays from 10 pm with an extra half an hour of live music and antics.
