In addition to the headliners, the station has scheduled performances from a variety of other artists, including Rachel Chinouriri and the indie band Blossoms. The event is a staple of the station's programming, designed to showcase live music sessions throughout the month.

The Live Lounge format remains a significant platform for artists to promote new material and demonstrate their vocal abilities in an intimate, acoustic-leaning setting.
