They are probably using in-ear monitors.

In-ear monitors are small speakers; the good ones are actually fitted to the singer's ears. They have a wireless belt pack that is controlled from the monitor position, usually off to one side of the stage.

Monitors (whether in-ear or on stage) allow the musician to hear what they want. The sound on stage is usually "different" from what the audience (front of house) hears.

For example, when I perform, I like my vocals pretty hot (loud) in my ears, my own guitar, Bass Guitar, snare, and other vocals.

Another musician may want to hear vocals, keyboards, and kick drum.

Each performer is hearing what they want to hear in their own monitors; so the sound on stage doesn't have the same mix as the one being heard by the audience.
