Welcome back, Unplugged Live fans. The guitars are tuned, the strings are warm, and the amps remain politely muted. Every week, we celebrate the art of the unplugged performance: raw vocals, intimate arrangements, and the magic that happens when an artist takes away the studio and steps into the spotlight with nothing but their craft.
Our playlists are fueled by the greatest acoustic performances in the world, featuring the legends who helped create MTV Unplugged, the artists reinventing live sound today, and the future stars stepping boldly into the acoustic scene. Explore it all on Unplugged Live Radio:
