The initial lineup for the 2013 iTunes Festival has now been released, once again leaving music fans of the United States jealous they don’t live in the United Kingdom.
Now in its seventh annual installment, the iTunes Festival offers tickets only to those in the UK, and those fans get them for free if they’re iTunes users. Considering this year’s lineup boasts Queens of the Stone Age, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Elton John and several other big name acts, it’s tempting to pack your bags and move across the pond to ready yourself for next year’s festival.
In the meantime, there will be 30 nights of shows held at London’s Roundhouse this September, and those of us in the States can at least watch them for free, live or later, via the Internet or other Apple devices.
