Apple ogłasza iTunes Festival 2013
iTunes Festival to miesięczny festiwal muzyki, organizowany przez Apple w The Roundhouse w Londynie. Od 2007 roku ponad 370 artystów dało koncerty w ramach tej imprezy. Zawsze występy można obejrzeć za darmo, za pośrednictwem iTunes. Dzisiaj, Apple ogłosiło tegoroczne wydarzenie.
Jak zwykle, odbędzie się ono we wrześniu, w Londynie. Cały festiwal obejmie łącznie ponad 60 występów a obejrzeć będzie można je wszystkie za darmo, używając iPhone’a, iPada, iPoda touch lub iTunes czy Apple TV. Bilety na iTunes Festival dostępne są tylko w ramach wygranej w konkursach. Niestety, organizowane są one przez lokalnych partnerów medialnych, dlatego raczej nie ma co liczyć na wyjazd do Londynu, jeśli mieszkasz w Polsce.
Wśród gwiazd edycji 2013 można wymienić Justine Timberlake’a, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Jack Johnson oraz Jessie J. Poniżej, pełna informacja prasowa w języku angielskim.
