  • Summary

  • 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).

  • Lindsey Stirling

    Lindsey Stirling
    Sep 4 2024
    Violinist Lindsey Stirling made a name for herself in 2010 by reaching the quarter finals of America's Got Talent with a unique mixture of classical music, pop sensibilities and dancing. Within a few years, she was on a path to gold and platinum albums, world tours and an unexpected success in holiday music. Her latest album, Duality, sees Stirling pushing her sound further into rock and EDM. Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast talks to Stirling about her music, her love of EDM, her physically demanding concerts and a non-profit she founded in 2020, The Upside Fund, that has erased $15 million of medical debt to date.

    Aug 27 2024
    Brandon Boyd and Mike Einziger of the rock band Incubus are currently on the band's Morning View + The Hits tour, a 10-city arena tour during which they'll play their 2001 album Morning View in its entirety — plus some more songs ("the hits"). And as many other bands have done lately, Incubus released a re-recorded version of the album, Morning View XXXIII, which features such beloved songs as "Wish You Were Here" and "Nice to Know You," in May. Boyd and Einziger talk to Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast about playing the album front to back in concert, going into the studio to record new material, why they love playing in South America, what they do to stay healthy while on the road, and much more.

  • Perry Farrell (of Jane's Addiction)

    Perry Farrell (of Jane's Addiction)
    Aug 6 2024
    Perry Farrell is one of a kind. He co-founded Jane's Addiction and left a lasting mark on rock music with the original band members' initial run of three albums: Jane's Addiction (1987), Nothing's Shocking (1988) and Ritual de lo Habitual (1990), the latter getting a boost into the mainstream from the song "Been Caught Stealing." Farrell also co-founded the traveling music festival Lollapalooza for the band's farewell tour in 1991 but continued the tour annually until 1998 (it brought back to life in Chicago in 2005 and has since expanded to Chile, Brazil and Argentina). Farrell and the three original members of Jane's Addiction are back with a new single, "Imminent Redemption" (released June 24) and a co-headlining tour of the U.S. with Love and Rockets. That kicks on August 9 in Las Vegas and runs to Sept. 26 in Indianapolis. Links Jane's Addition home page Jay Gilbert @ Label Logic Glenn Peoples @ Billboard Learn more about your ad choices.
