Apple releases iTunes Festival features, app

The iTunes Festival London is a month-long series of concerts featuring more than sixty artists performing in London's Roundhouse. The fun starts on July 1st and Apple's got you covered with an iOS app, steaming shows and exclusive music in iTunes.

The free universal app, aptly named iTunes Festival London 2011, offers details on the month's lineup plus live and on-demand video of highlighted performances (for a limited time). Fans like me who aren't in London can still get a peek at what's going on.

Meanwhile, a featured page in iTunes lists albums available from the scheduled performers. Watch for live tracks once the shows begin. In the meantime, check out these photos from previous years.

Tickets are free and distributed via a lottery. Good luck and have fun!
