Apple Announces Live 'Apple Music Festival 2015'

Apple has announced it will hold an 'Apple Music Festival' this September at London's Roundhouse featuring Pharrell Williams, One Direction, Florence + The Machine, Disclosure, and other popular artists.

Apple will broadcast performances to music fans around the world for free, which can be viewed live and on-demand on Apple Music. The Apple Music Festival lets fans get even closer to their favorite performers with coverage on Beats 1 alongside backstage news and footage straight from the artists on Apple Music Connect.

“We wanted to do something really special for music fans this year,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “The Apple Music Festival is a greatest hits set of ten unbelievable nights featuring some of the best performers on the planet appearing live and interacting directly with their fans on Connect and Beats 1.”


The Apple Music Festival takes place over ten nights from September 19 to September 28.
