iTunes Festival 2014

Yeah I thought the 1st could've been a R+L band with the same sort of exclusivity that they have on tours and stuff. OutKast is a good shout too but I don't know what Beck has to do with them playing.

There should be at least a small announcement on Mon/Tue (probably Tuesday because of Bank Holiday). They'll do the ballot that evening though and it might even be a full ballot so best to keep an eye on it and apply quickly.

[LondonTom]

Isn't it normally always acts with new material/tours to promote? I can't see why Outkast would bother with it atm.

[Dead throne]

any idea when the next draw is?

[A13]

Won tickets for two dates now.

[Dead throne]

lucky git

[GuitarManDan15]

Absolutely sweet F A for the 6th year running so far. I even live in sodding London!

[Muppetmark]

I've won nothing yet this year. They must announce their final acts this week though !!

[LondonTom]

Nothing here either...boo!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

The last draws for each show are supposed to be a week in advance of the night so still not knowing who's next Monday by now is really taking the piss

[Babyquack]

They've clearly struggled to find anyone who wants to do it this year as it seems a little bit of a shambles...

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Weak headliners or late as fuck announcements is fitting the pattern set by Glasto, Reading, V and T from earlier in the year so maybe we shouldn't be surprised, it's all from the same touring pool after all. Shame Paramore didn't stick around in the UK for more than 12 hours after Leeds, they'd have been fun and a bit unexpected.

[the wonderwhy]

Placebo added.

Other than that its just a load of bollocks like Jessie J and Deadmau5. Still no Kasabian support

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Deadmaus is the opener?? ffs. Mary J Blige would be fun though

[Rose-Colored Boy]

what? Glasto announced less than seven weeks in advance..

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Good point, people were even speculating that Metallica weren't going to be announced haha

only two nights left, would expect a big'un for the closing night but not much for the 19th although you never know..

[dentalplan]

Was probably more about calling them weak.

Yeah to be fair most August festivals across Europe have kinda struggled and had to pretty much have the same line up as one another so it may have been difficult from the off.

Jessie Ware/Little Dragon is cool but I wouldn't travel across country for that, same as Placebo, Kasabian and RP.

Wolf Alice supporting Lenny Kravitz is weird.

Like it does most years with the odd exception if it leaks out/the band self confirm?

[Dead throne]

this year's lineup is weak as fuckkk

Agree totally. For as much as she isn't the beast she once was and the album turned out to flop, at least last year Lady Gaga launched one of the most hyped albums of the year at iTunes, this year we just get a bunch of names who have been at every single festival without fail this year, a couple of shitty DJ's and Maroon 5. All it needs is for Example to fill one of the two remaining slots and you might as well just have gone to V Fest.

[A13]

What is going on, the lineup for this year is absolute dogshite!

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Shit lineup or not, still won f**k all! Hoping i'll get deadmau5, out of curiosity and beck would be cool.

I dunno. It's free and you can't expect a consistently high standard from a free event. Better than knocking it on the head all together.

[Dead throne]

that is fair enough

[dentalplan]

Looks like the final Beck tickets went out yesterday, mainly to people who don't know who he is and are angry at having won the tickets. Another iTunes festival entry process over for me.
