Big Thief Play Setlist Made Entirely of Upcoming Triple Album, Horsepower

Big Thief played their forthcoming triple album Horsepower in its entirety at their August 22nd show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. See the full set below.

Welch joined the band for nine songs and DeMent sat in on 12 tunes. Williams took the stag for one song during the encore.
