iTunes Fest Returns To ITV2












Kasabian, Oasis and Snow Patrol are set for ITV2 this summer, with commissioners ordering a second dose of the iTunes Live: London Festival.

Produced by Endemol-owned Initial, the 8 x 60-minute series will be produced from the Camden Roundhouse throughout the festival, which will be broadcast throughout July on Thursday and Friday evenings.

As well as Oasis, the programmes will feature performances from The Saturdays, Paolo Nutini and Flo Rida as well as comedy performances and celebrity interviews.

On top of this, 2 x 60-minute round-up programmes will be produced for ITV1 and the live gigs from the festival will be recorded and sold on iTunes.

The iTunes Live:London Festival 09 was ordered by entertainment commissioning editor Claire Zolkwer and director of ITV digital channels and acquisitions Zai Bennett.

Bennett said: "iTunes have pulled out all the stops in getting a fantastic line up of acts across the month including Oasis, Snow Patrol and Flo Rida and the legendary Roundhouse should be a fitting venue for the calibre of music on offer."

Head of music at Initial Phil Mount said: "The festival is the kind of multi-genre, digitally connected event that will excite music fans everywhere. Through ITV2 viewers will get front row seats to the hottest bands the festival has to offer."
