Pandora is pioneering the next era of music experiences with the launch of a virtual concert series that stays true to our core values of bringing fans closer to their favorite artists and delivering unforgettable content experiences. The inaugural concert took place on July 28th and our listeners were ready—THOUSANDS of fans tuned in to this one-of-a-kind show, garnering coverage from Forbes, Variety, Billboard, and over 50 additional publications.

Country singer Kane Brown kicked off the concert series, joined by SiriusXM’s The Highway host Storme Warren. Special guests Restless Road made a special appearance with a surprise collab, along with a whole host of other celebrities who shared their favorite memories with Kane; including Khalid, Thomas Rhett, Russell Dickerson, Florida Georgia Line, Lauren Alaina, Chris Lane, Becky G, Hoda, and Lonnie Chavis from This is Us. The show featured a special animated short film—based on true events narrated by Kane’s wife and best friend—created exclusively for the show.

Those who know Pandora Live events know that the swag and sponsor enhancements are always a highlight—and at a virtual event, this was no different.

Kingsford shared tips to create an at-home concert cookout before the show, provided select superfans with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Kane virtually, and kicked off the night with pre-show “Get Grilled” trivia where fans tested their Kane Brown superfan knowledge.
