iTunes Festival to Rock London in July

iTunes Festival 2010 to be held at the Camden Roundhouse

Apple has announced that the London iTunes Festival will run from July 1 through the 31 at the Camden Roundhouse.

The iTunes Festival which has been held for the last couple of years will this year show 62 bands over 31 days with headliners Scissor Sisters, Tony Bennett and Ozzy Osbourne kicking off the show.

Babydaddy of Scissor Sisters said, “We can’t wait to tickle your fancies with songs new and old as part of iTunes Festival. This will be our first performance ever at London's legendary Roundhouse, WOAH".

Tony Bennett says, “I'm thrilled that after playing two nights at London's famous Royal Albert Hall, where I've appeared so many times over the years, I'll be making my first appearance at the iTunes Festival at Camden's Roundhouse. I love performing my favourite music, the Great American Songbook, to audiences of every age - so playing to the iTunes crowd in such an intimate setting will be great fun. The audiences of Britain have been so warm and welcoming and I always look forward to coming here to perform.”

"This has all the makings of a great gig," says Ozzy Osbourne who will release Scream, his first album in almost three years via Epic, on June 14. "I've never performed before at the legendary Roundhouse, and it'll be fantastic to do an intimate show there for the fans. We're also recording it, so if you can't make it to the gig, it'll be available for download on iTunes."

Each performance will be sold on the iTunes store worldwide and ITV will broadcast the best of the festival in the UK.
