Meaning

A setlist is the list of songs played at a concert or live show, in performance order. The Cambridge Dictionary defines it as a list of songs played by a singer or band in a concert, with the example "His 20-song setlist included most of his biggest hits." Another example, "A few new tunes popped into the set list," shows it is also used to talk about which songs made it in. It also fits the running order of a video: in IVE's episode of Dingo Music's Killing Voice, the chapters in the description list 16 songs, from "LOVE DIVE" to "Shine With Me." A tracklist is the order of songs on an album, while a setlist is what was actually performed at a show or in a video.

Usage

Used for the songs and order at a show, as in "tonight's setlist" or "the tour setlist." Songs can change from show to show, so note the date and venue.
