Pandora To Celebrate 10 Years With Day of Ad-Free Listening

Pandora is slated to celebrate a decade of business with Listener Love Day on Sept. 9, when the service will go commercial-free for U.S. listeners for 24 hours. The event is sponsored by Pandora One.

“Listener Love Day is a celebration of a decade of connecting music fans to the artists that matter to them,” said Tim Westergren, founder of Pandora, in a statement. “This is a thank you to each and every listener who has tuned in to Pandora over the past 10 years.”

Pandora has grown to boast 80 million monthly listeners since its inception, and includes more than 8 billion stations. Pandora will also celebrate 10 years with a “10×10 mixtape,” which catalogs songs that have received the most “thumbs up” from users over the past decade.

Listener Love Day will begin at 12:00am ET on Wednesday, Sept. 9.
