This year's Apple Music Festival, first announced in mid-August, is replacing Apple's annual iTunes Festival. Like the iTunes Festival, the Apple Music Festival is a free concert series that will see different artists performing each night, but the 2015 event will last for just 10 days instead of the previous 30 days.

It will run from September 19 to September 28 and along with the acts announced today, Pharrell, One Direction, Little Mix, Disclosure, and Florence + the Machine will perform. The full lineup of acts will be posted on the dedicated Apple Music Festival website.

Each live performance will be broadcast across the world and will be available both live and on-demand via Apple Music. UK residents can apply to win tickets to the Apple Music Festival on Apple Music and through various media partners.

Ahead of the festival's kickoff, Apple is expected to announce additional performances.

They reformed a while back. And have seen a fair bit of success, especially in the UK:

Seems to be a nice mix of acts. Should be something for a wide variety of music fans.

Hmm shame it's not 30 nights still, you got a lot more variety then. No Jazz or classical etc this time.

If you are having trouble applying for tickets you need to tick Show Apple Music in iTunes preferences to open the link to Explore the Festival but you don't need to be subscribed to enter the draw for tickets.
