Cu doar cateva minute in urma compania Apple a publicat un comunicat de presa prin care anunta organizarea iTunes Festival 2014 impreuna cu toti artistii care urmeaza sa aiba reprezentatii LIVE in cadrul evenimentului. iTunes Festival 2014 se va desfasura in Londra pe parcursul a 30 de zile, nu mai putin de 60 de trupe/artisti urmand a avea concerte, printre ele numarandu-se Maroon 5, Pharell Williams, David Guetta, Blondie, Calvin Harris si multi, multi altii.
Avand in vedere ca totul se desfasoara intr-un spatiu in care incape un numar limitat de oameni, Apple va organiza o loterie pentru acordarea de bilete gratuite celor interesati, anul trecut cateva zeci de milioane de persoane inregistrandu-si interesul. Pentru ca vorbim despre un eveniment gratuit, iTunes Festival 2014 va fi transmis in direct in aplicatii ale Apple si pe Apple TV.
