Every year for a one month London turns into musical capital of the world and Roundhouse into arena for the main and loudest event — iTunes Festival 2014. You can’t buy the tickets as you will never buy happiness or peace — you just deserve it or not. Be honest, not everything is so complicated — applauding crowd is being chosen from iTunes users by competition. And the artists are incredible! This year it’s Kylie, SBTRKT, Friend Within, Kate Simko & London Electronic Orchestra, Imelda May and The Mirror Trapand and Plácido Domingo for the closing day. 30 days of music have been started!
In case you were not that lucky to win the tickets you can watch for free—live or for a limited time afterward—with iTunes on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or computer, or on your big screen with Apple TV. Load your APP here.
