'The Set' Hosts Call For Return Of Show: 'Australian Musicians Deserve That Show'

It's still unclear if ABC's The Set will return in 2020, but it's very clear its hosts want to see the live music show return. 

The series was not included in ABC's 2020 programming earlier this month, however Dylan Alcott and Linda Marigliano told The Music at yesterday's ARIA Awards that they are hopeful for a third season.

"It's like going to work with one of your best mates. It's a privilege and we love it," Alcott said.

"We're really confident and hopefully that'll come back next year."

Marigliano added. "Nothing in stone yet, but I think everyone wants the show back.

"We really, really want it."

ABC Head of Entertainment Michael Carrington said last week that the broadcaster "will find a way to bring The Set back".

"Even the heads at ABC want it back as well. They love it," Alcott said.

"Australian musicians deserve that show."

In its two season-run The Set featured live performances from the likes of Amy Shark, The Teskey Brothers, The Presets, Vera Blue and Ball Park Music.
