MUMBAI: If you thought that the iTunes Festival line-up could not get any better, think again. Joining an already stellar line-up of acts, which include Pharrell Williams, Kylie Minogue, Maroon 5, Calvin Harris, Kasabian, David Guetta and Beck, the festival has added a few more big names. Come September, the music fest will also see performances from Placebo, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J and Deadmau5, who will open the month long music event on 1 September.
Another big name addition to the iTunes Festival is iconic American jazz singer Tony Bennett, whose duet album ‘Cheek to Cheek’ with Lady Gaga will release next month. The new additions to line-up come a little less than a month after Apple revealed the first 21 acts that would be performing at the festival.
The festival has also announced a number of supporting acts like Wolf Alice for Lenny Kravitz, Foy Vance for Ed Sheeran, Foxes for The Script and Rae Morris for Paolo Nutini, among several others.
