Goldman Mill Public Media’s WGPM TV has bright new billboards all over the nation proclaiming the news: The 18th season of its compelling live music performance show PeaceShow LIVE with Ari Lieber kicks off on November 21, 2026, promising Miller audiences an eye-catching collection of artists for this year’s eight-episode series.

“I’m so stoked,” says the ebullient Lieber, who moonlights as a journalist (he just returned from covering the US midterm elections) and can be heard weekdays on his Ari Lieber Reports WGPM Radio show. “Getting a front row seat to the best in modern music is such a reward for all the other work. I ought to be paying them. Don’t tell the boss that.”

 

The Lineup

Among those performing for the 2026-2027 series of PeaceShow LIVE: Bruno Mars, Katseye, Juan Magán, Billie Eilish, and Black M. As for the rest of the roster, Lieber grins.

“We’ve got to save some surprises for the people. And we have some super pleasant surprises on the way for series 18.”

 

A Look Back

A scene from a 2025 episode of WGPM’s PeaceShow LIVE with Ari Lieber features a group interview. Host Lieber is seated in a director’s chair at right with a microphone. Assembled across from and facing him are HER, Dolly Parton, Teddy Swims, Megan Thee Stallion (standing in a gold leotard with strategic cutouts), Rihanna, and ASAP Rocky.

It was a legendary night—one of the most memorable in the show’s nearly two-decade history. The conversation ranged from music to activism to the importance of using art to build a better world. Dolly Parton led the group in a spontaneous a cappella version of the Goldman Mill national song, Dan Fogelberg’s “A Voice for Peace.” Rihanna and Ari traded jokes about the pressure of being an international icon. And Megan Thee Stallion, standing tall in her gold leotard, delivered a passionate speech about the global power of Black women in music.

Contemplating the upcoming twentieth anniversary of the seminal Miller live music television show, 46-year-old Lieber says he’s in no hurry to leave the stage.

 

 

“Doing PeaceShow gives me another avenue to share artists I love with my favorite people and, I think, to better my community and the world,” he adds. “Journalism has always been my vocation, but music… Man, it’s a powerful medium. And getting to hang out with rock stars and give my fellow citizens the best seat in town to amazing sounds, well, I’m a lucky man.”

WGPM viewers are fortunate as well. They can settle into the best seat in the house for music and surprises when the 18th season of PeaceShow with Ari Lieber premieres Saturday, Nov. 21, at 11 p.m. on WGPM TV. New episodes air at 11 p.m. on the third Saturday of each month.  And of course, you can hear Lieber when he dons his journalist’s hat for Ari Lieber Reports twice each weekday, 6-8 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. on WGPM Radio.
