Virtual event hosted by SiriusXM’s Mikey Piff
Pandora has announced that Dua Lipa will perform for the final Pandora LIVE virtual event of the year on December 22nd at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT. Pandora LIVE is the continuation of the streaming service’s popular virtual series that features top artists from all genres, including country, rock, R&B and more. Fans can RSVP for the free event.
Mikey Piff of SiriusXM’s Hits 1 (ch. 2) will host the evening featuring an in-depth interview with Lipa and game of “The Hot Seat” where Lipa will be quizzed about her career.
Some of Lipa’s top listeners on Pandora will have the opportunity to participate in a virtual meet and greet prior to the show and participate in interactive pre-show trivia where they can test their knowledge about the artist. During the show, fans will also be able to snap a selfie in the virtual photo booth, receive discounts, and support a national charity initiative. A limited amount of complimentary artist merchandise will be available for attendees on a first-come, first-served code redemption basis. Immediately following the show, fans will be invited to join the official virtual after-party on Instagram Live, hosted by actor and singer James Maslow. They will also be able to check out the Pandora Live: Backstage with Dua Lipa station, featuring commentary from Lipa herself as well as the performance tracks from the show.
“As much as I want to be touring my new album and seeing my fans in person,” says Lipa, “I’m grateful we’re still able to join together virtually for a night of fun and dancing thanks to Pandora. Hope you all enjoy and can’t wait to see you out on the road very soon.”
