setlists
Bands' performance orders
Setlists are the ordered sequences of songs a band or musician plans to perform at a concert or show.
Artists prepare setlists before performances, balancing crowd favorites, new material, and pacing: The band posted their setlist backstage.
Fans share and compare setlists online to track what songs were played at different tour stops.
