This is more than likely VERY MUCH ILLEGAL. I might sound like an expert on this, but, trust me, I'm not so I would recommend doing some research on your own.
Fair use provides you with the right to play music in a public setting, sort of, just so long as there is not even a hint of profit involved. This includes promotion. Do people do this and get away with it? Sure, all the time, but that doesn't mean there's a precedent to cite or a loophole to jump through.
Fair use does NOT provide you with the right to boardcast copyrighted music, especially to a potential audience numbering in the thousands. For this you would need to pay for an appropriate license. You can probably dodge this provision if you get the concent of the rights holders directly.
Again, take this with a grain of salt, but I think I'm not far off base.
Best of luck with it.
