Apple to take bite out of UK festival season with free summer gigs
Competitions, Festival News, Music News
Firstly, apologies for the gratuitous use of the words “Apple” and “bite”. Secondly, hoorah! for Apple, which will be mostly spending this summer letting punters watch the likes of Amy Winehouse, The View, Groove Amada and the quite-special-actually Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. For free!
The full line-up, and it’s quite exciting, is here. It’s all tied up with iTunes, and the only way to get tickets will be to enter competitions for them with those shiny-computered iPod lovers.
For those who can’t get tickets (that’ll be most of the people who enter, then), the gigs will be available to download from iTunes, although there’s no word yet as to whether you’ll need to pay for them. We suspect so. Arty types who are already members of the ICA stand a slightly better chance of bagging some tickets thanks to some being reserved. The first gig will kick off on the evening of July 1st with nice-but-weird Mika.
