Bands that change the setlist each night

Thought it would be good to round up the artists/bands we know that change the setlist every night. 

A lot of bands will switch out 1, maybe 2, songs, in certain slots, but I am thinking more along the lines of you know going in 3+ different songs will make an appearance compared to the night before or the order will at least be switched dramatically. 

I will drop what I can think of in the comments with everyone else. Apologies if another thread exists, the search function isn’t great.

    Pearl Jam the obvious choice.
    Brooks Nielsen (of the Growlers) solo shows have been pleasantly surprising seeing different setlists each night

    I haven’t followed too closely, but I think RHCP are changing it up more?

    Yes they do! Love the rock show!

    Built to Spill also change their sets a decent amount, but usually play short sets. As does Jack White and Jason Isbell.

    I was just checking out The Dream Syndicate set lists here:
    They really mix it up! That's probably not a hard thing to do when you have written as many songs as Steve Wynn has.  Remembering all the lyrics would be an impossible feat for someone like me, lol.

    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Was surprised seeing Tori Amos doing it (to such extent). More so than Pearl Jam.

    Copenhagen:



    Next show in Oslo which I went to:



    Neil Young changed it up a lot with POTR but from like a "larger pool" of songs.

    They play two shows per city and changes between nights (as a gimmick for the tour). But in the next city they play the same setlist (pretty much) ? So if you go night 1 in Berlin and then night 1 in Paris - you will get the same setlist, will you not?

    Tori! My wife is a huge fan! We used to see her a lot, but my wife had dropped off on going to shows until recently. May take her this summer. I think Scarlet’s Walk is my favorite.

    We don’t know this for sure yet , if it’s the same two setlists in each city. We won’t know until the next city.

    I'd be shocked for them to change it up much if anything.  I just want to be in the building when they play Breadfan.

    You beat me to it... IDK if this is the norm for them, but I saw them play B2B shows in Boston in 2018... 25 songs each night, and they only repeated 5 between the two.... 45 different songs played over the 2 night stint. 

    Those two nights combine for one of my single favorite concert experiences in 30+ years.
