Some other acts, who confirmed their appearances today were Paramore, Rizzle Kicks, Sigur Ros, and composer Ludovico Einaudi – a varied lineup, if ever there was one. The iTunes Festival is typically known for showcasing artists and bands across a variety of genres and this year’s mix is no different. Justin Timberlake, Jake Bugg, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Queens Of The Stone Age, Jack Johnson, Primal Scream, Phoenix and Jessie J have already been announced as the first batch of headliners for this year's iTunes Festival.

This isn’t exactly a typical festival – that is to say, no tents, rain or mud – it lacks all the traditional amusements of the British summer circuit. The iTunes festival runs every night in September at the Roundhouse in London and it features over 60 artists on its lineup. Tickets will, of course, set you back considerably, but they are free for competition winners and all performances are streamed online via iTunes, as well as available on demand on Apple devices. A huge chunk of this year’s lineup hasn’t been revealed yet, but so far the schedule looks like this:

Sigur Ros (September (2)
