set lists
Band performance orders
A set list is the sequence of songs or pieces a performer or band plans to play during a concert or show.
Musicians prepare set lists before performances, sometimes writing them on paper taped to the stage floor.
The order matters—bands often save crowd favorites for encores: The set list had twelve songs plus two for the encore.
