Marilyn Mastin Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm going to try and go, I was upset at not being able to go to the Sadlers Wells gig. I'm very nervous about tackling the London tube again if I have to use the tube, but I'll try my best. I've had to reactivate my Facebook account again, but the tickets don't seem to be available yet for July 31st. If I DO get ticets, I will have to ask fans for advice in getting around London, but that's if I get tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) http://www.ituneslive.co.uk/ OK, this looks legitimate now... The iTunes Festival is a new type of music festival. Free to attend. Running for the entire month of July and to be enjoyed from anywhere in the world via the web. This year we are celebrating our 3rd anniversary in style. Taking to the stage at Camden's Roundhouse will be Oasis, Snow Patrol, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, The Saturdays, Flo Rida, Bat For Lashes, Jack Peñate, Paolo Nutini and many more still to be announced. To see the full line up visit the iTunes (EU) Facebook page. Each performance will be recorded and available to download on iTunes. You can keep up to date with the latest line-up announcements, free ticket competitions, news, video highlights and live audio broadcasts by becoming a fan of the iTunes (EU) Facebook page. Gig tickets are NOT available to buy. For the chance to see your favourite artists up-close and for free, click here to visit the festival page and follow the ticket application instructions. We're giving away hundreds of gig tickets on Facebook, but if you do not have a Facebook account you could win a limited number of tickets here. It looks like the release in Mari's post is from the original festival a few years ago... for some reason. This looks like the real thing. But I haven't run across MIKA's name on the 2009 list yet. EDIT: Ah, there he is: http://www.facebook.com/iTunesEU#/iTunesEU?v=app_10531514314&viewas=810005320 Edited June 16, 2009 by dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the *2009*but... I don't see this on the ICA website/calendar yet... No, this post isn't right I think, as I said, if you click the link. On the right it says 2007. BUT if you look at the calendar on the itunes facebook account, his name has recently been added! On july 31.
