In anticipation of the livestream, Mumford & Sons curated a digital mixtape for Pandora listeners, available now at: http://pdora.co/mumfordandsonslive. Mumford & Sons' latest album Wilder Mind hit #1 on the Billboard charts, and the first single off the record, "Believe," reached #1 on both the Alternative Songs and Adult Alternative Songs charts.

Wilder Mind follows the 2012 release of Mumford & Sons' sophomore album, Grammy-winning Babel which followed their 2009 debut album, Sigh No More. The band is currently traveling coast to coast in the U.S. and Canada in support of Wilder Mind, including a headline appearance at Bonnaroo. The band has also recently performed on "Saturday Night Live," CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."

The Mumford & Sons live station is a unique opportunity for Pandora listeners to experience Mumford & Sons' widely praised live performances, regardless of where they are. This show is the latest example of Pandora connecting artists with fans, following the launch of its Artist Marketing Platform (AMP) late last year, the livestream of Jack White's sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden in January and its partnership with AEG Live and the Rolling Stones to offer listeners an exclusive ticket pre-sale for the band's ZIP CODE tour.
