Apple on Friday posted a short video to its official YouTube channel, highlighting some of the most memorable moments of the iTunes Festival 2013 currently wrapping up in London.
With just three days left in Apple's 2013 iTunes Festival in London, the company has put up a short clip, titled "Moments," featuring snippets of standout acts thus far, including Elton john, Avicii and Lady Gaga.
Set to "Stormur" by Sigur Ros, who followed Lady Gaga as the festival's second act, the video shows both artists and concert goers who met at The Roundhouse in London over the past month. Apple's yearly musical celebration takes place throughout September, with one headliner playing daily after lesser known or up and coming opening acts.
By the end of the show, over 60 artists will have played at the venue, including 30 headlining performers like Justin Timberlake, Ellie Goulding, and Robin Thicke.
Apple has been streaming parts of the concert series and continues to serve up videos of performances for free through iTunes. As in past years, content can be accessed via the iOS app, a special Apple TV channel and the iTunes app for Mac and PC.
The festival continues on Saturday with John Legend, while Justin Timberlake is scheduled to perform on Sunday. Katy Perry will close out this year's festivities on Monday.

iTunes Festival is a preview of Apple's future television infrastructure. Live and pre-recorded streaming to all iOS devices, and to any Mac or PC running iTunes. Just a matter of time before Apple gets the appropriate contracts signed, then they'll be able to officially launch their TV products and strategy. I'd be surprised if Apple made any big moves on the TV industry before 4K TV sets and content become more mainstream. Apple will wait for Google and Samsung and others to make glaring mistakes with their first-gen products, then Apple will roll out a superior solution. Works every time.
sadly, most of the performers don't have anything in common with words "music", "creativity" or "craftsmanship". Most of them don't even poses the voice span over single octave or even play a single musical instrument. Every moron can be "musician" like this...It's damn shame iTunes have to be promoted with crap like this.

seriously? The festival was loaded with very talented performers.
How old are you? 90? you sound like some grumpy old man that will never like any singer other than Sinatra... get a clue do-do bird
BTW, I am but a few weeks from 50 years old, and have been performing music for 35 years.
What are your credentials to critique these wonderfully creative musicians?

I'm 40. I should say perhaps "most of the mentioned performers", or "page one performers", not most of the performers. ...
If festival needs to be promoted with Lady Gaga, Timberlake, Avicii, Lamar and similar, then it's a darn shame. Again. These people may have a lot of talent, but not the musical one and mentioning credentials for expressing music taste and emotions makes you unaware of purpose and pleasure of the music although you may perform million years.
