Exclusive coverage of the iTunes Festival.
Presented by Alexa Chung and Dave Berry, ITV2 will be showcasing the very best performances from this year’s iTunes Festival, with eight one hour programmes to be broadcast during July on Thursday and Friday evenings.
The festival takes place every night in July at the renowned Roundhouse venue in London’s Camden Town. This year, fans will be treated to performances from bands including the The Foo Fighters, Adele, Bruno Mars, Beady Eye, Paul Simon, Manic Street Preachers, and Moby.

The ITV2 shows will also reflect other aspects of this free festival, with comedy and celebrity interviews. ITV1 has also commissioned three one-hour highlight shows, going out on Tuesday nights in July and August.
On hosting the ITV2 shows, Alexa said: "I like music, I like Camden, I like Dave Berry. It's a simple equation; iTunes festival for ITV2 is going to be an amazing experience for everyone. I'm incredibly excited about the line up and rather pleased I get to spend my July interviewing awesome bands,”
Dave added: "I’m over the moon to be back at the helm of the iTunes festival for a fourth year. I can’t wait to make the roundhouse my home for the month of July and welcome some stellar sounds and my new co-host Alexa in for some summer fun and games"
Each of the live gigs will be recorded and sold exclusively on all 23 iTunes Stores worldwide (www.itunes.co.uk). Fans can apply for free tickets at www.itunesfestival.co.uk
