Jack White, Norah Jones, and Usher to Perform at Apple’s iTunes Festival 2012 in September

Last July, Apple’s annual iTunes Festival for 2011 rocked London with top-notch performances by bands like Linkin Park, Coldplay, and Foo Fighters — this year’s follow-up slated for September will bring Jack White, Norah Jones, Usher and more to the Roundhouse in London. The festival schedule for this year’s iTunes Festival isn’t complete, but you’ll find this year’s must-see headliners already scheduled for the following dates:

  • Usher, September 1st
  • Emeli Sandé, September 5th
  • Jack White, September 8th
  • Norah Jones, September 10th
  • One Direction, September 20th

Live concerts will be streamed to viewers worldwide through iTunes or the iTunes Festival app for iOS devices. Last year, the iTunes Festival app made available the schedule, live concert streams, photo galleries, concert replays, and performance highlights (availability depending on the band and when you saw them). From your iPhone or iPad, you’ll also have the option to stream the concert to your television through the Apple TV. Shortly after a performance, you can typically find live highlights through EPs released through the iTunes Store.

If you live in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, France, or Germany, you have a chance to win a pair of tickets to see your favorite artist. The rest of the world can tune in to watch the live streams online or through Apple’s application. Throughout September, Apple will be streaming live, must see performances of your favorites artists. You can sign up for updates through the iTunes Festival page on iTunes or follow @itunesfestival on Twitter.
