Last night Big Sean performed a free concert at Park West in Chicago as part of MetroPCS Presents Sounds Of Chicago, Powered By Pandora. The audience of Pandora listeners got to experience an intimate show. Big Sean headlined Pandora’s Sounds Like You: Summer concert in Los Angeles earlier this year. Big Sean also created a mixtape of various artists for Pandora that you can stream here.

Pandora hosted their Pandora Sounds Like You NYC concert at Brooklyn Steel last night. Nas attended and there were performances from Young M.A. and Dave East. Biz Markie was the DJ for the event.

Pandora will soon offer a paid music subscription service with on-demand programming by the end of the year. Pandora is one of the more popular streaming services because they have a free option in addition to the $5 a month plan which eliminates advertising from the listening experience. Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, the Orchard, Merlin Network and a host of independent labels and distributors have made deals with Pandora for their new service. The contracts for the new product are specific to the United States only and should provide serious competition to Spotify, Google Play Music and Apple Music.

Pandora has partnered with Questlove to present Questlove Supreme, a three-hour weekly show looking at music globally, interviews and conversations. Questlove will work as a Strategic Advisor and Artist Ambassador for Pandora to offer advice and support for artist initiatives and music products. Questlove Supreme premieres on Questlove’s new Pandora station on September 7 at 1 PM EST and will replay for 48 hours each week. Featured guests include Saturday Night Live alum Maya Rudolph, GRAMMY-nominated producer and engineer Bob Power and Grammy winner Kimbra. The music featured each week will reflect the conversation topics. Check out Questlove’s new Pandora mixtape here.
