Triple J Just Announced A New Live Music Show And Guess Which Legends Are Hosting
This is huge: Angus and Julia Stone, Vera Blue, Ball Park Music and The Presets are all stopping by in early episodes.
Triple J hosts Linda Marigliano and Dylan Alcott have a new gig: the ABC just announced Australia’s next big live music show, named The Set, which will be hosted by the duo.
The radio station have revealed that The Set will have Angus and Julia Stone, Vera Blue, Ball Park Music and The Presets stopping by in the early episodes. In a statement, Triple J said to “expect to see” other artists like Illy, Odette, Baker Boy, Wafia, Mallrat, Angie McMahon, Tia Gostelow, LANKS and Kult Kyss.
So what’s actually going to happen on the show?
“Across the series, 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 collaboriation,” the statement reads.
And co-hosts Marigliano and Alcott are as stoked as we are.
“We’ve been keeping The Set a secret for a while now and are pumped to finally share this news with you,” they said. “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 will air at two different times during the week: there will be a half hour episode every Wednesday at 9:30pm, and a full 60 minute extended version on Saturdays at 10pm.
The show starts on 31 October. Get excited!
