The annual iTunes Festival held at the iconic Roundhouse venue in London runs during the month of September and is free to UK residents lucky enough to win tickets through iTunes. It has been reported that upwards of 2 million people applied for the 60,000 tickets that were given away. Never fear though, the festival performances can be watched live or on-demand by millions of iOS users around the world on their iPhone®, iPad® or iPod touch®, as well as by music fans with iTunes on their computer or iwith Apple TV®.

The iTunes Festival featured 30 nights of free live music and did not disappoint. Now in it’s seventh year, there were notable acts in many genres. I’ve included the bands who brought the ROCK to the fans this year.
