New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Pandora (NYSE:P), the leading internet radio service, is partnering with AEG Live's Concerts West and the
Rolling Stones to offer listeners an exclusive ticket pre-sale for the upcoming ZIP CODE tour. The presale begins on Thursday, April 9 at 10am in all US time zones, four full days before the general sale on April 13.
While fans wait for the tour to officially kick off,
Pandora has partnered with the
Rolling Stones to provide an exclusive listening experience - a digital mixtape which includes songs hand-picked by band members. The mixtape can be found at https://www.pandora.co/zipcoderadio or by searching ZIP CODE
Radio in the
Pandora mobile/tablet app.
Additionally, famed rock journalist Anthony DeCurtis sat down with members of the band for an in-depth interview, which will be available on the ZIP CODE
Radio station starting April 13. Listeners interested in a preview of the interview can check out DeCurtis' account now on the
Pandora blog.
The ZIP CODE tour marks the first time the
Rolling Stones have played North American stadiums since their 2005-2007 "A Bigger Banger Tour." It also coincides with the re-release of the 1971 classic Sticky Fingers, featuring tracks such as 'Wild Horses' and 'Brown Sugar.'
"The word 'icon' gets thrown around quite a bit, but is perfectly fitting when referencing the Rolling Stones," said Lars Murray, Pandora's Senior Vice President
Music Industry Group. "Being able to work with the
Rolling Stones and provide new and exclusive experiences for their fans is the embodiment of our mission at
Pandora - connecting music makers to the people who love their music."
This experience is the latest example of the ongoing efforts by
Pandora to connect its artists and listeners, having released its Artist Marketing Platform (AMP) late last year and the recent rollout of Artist Audio Messaging.
