I think it has always been a thing with lesser known bands. Most people come to Your show for Your one hit so You show them other songs first, so they get to know You.
More known bands have a different pattern. You start with the single promoting Your new album, then a couple of hits, then You cram in a few other songs from the new album, which nobody wants to hear and then You finish with the biggest hits.
I love learning about other languages! I grew up in US American schools, so my knowledge is based on US American English, but for pronouns (I/me, you, he/she/they, etc.), I was taught that only “I” is capitalized, unless the pronoun is referring to a deity. I have no clue why it is that way… English is weird and full of inconsistencies!
In Polish We capitalise the second person (You, Your). We do not capitalise the first or third, unless referring to a deity. And, as with everything, we have around 10 forms of “Your”.
Vampire Weekend always closes with Walcott.
Their encores are varied, but you know the show is over after that one.
I’ve also noticed a pattern of what you’re talking about where bands play their most famous song last more recently.

May I ask why you capitalize “You” and “Your”? Does that come from a region/language I’m unfamiliar with, or just a personal style choice?
It’s how we write in Polish. I always thought English is the same. I always write this way.
