Apple on Wednesday added some new bands to its iTunes Festival, which takes place in London, England this coming September.
Joining the festival are Kings of Leon, Sigur Rós, Paramore, Vampire Weekend, Ludovico Einaudi, Rizzle Kicks and Bahamas. These bands were added to the previously announced headliners Justin Timberlake, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Jack Johnson and Jessie J.
iTunes Festival runs every night in September from the Roundhouse. The event features more than 60 acts and can be watched live from your computer on iTunes, Apple TV, or using your iPod, iPhone or iPad.
Why the hell aren’t these shows available for purchase from iTunes? It seems like a crazy-obvious thing, but I had to download last year’s Muse headliner show from YouTube and manually break apart all the individual tracks to listen to it on my iPhone in the car. I very happily would have paid $10 instead.
