Live performances from Crowded House, Amy Whitehouse and Stereophonics will soon be available for download by iPod users following the announcement of the month-long iTunes Festival.
The event will see more than 60 artists performing intimate gigs at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts throughout July.
Just 350 people will be in the audience for each show, with the free tickets distributed to competition winners, but every performance will be recorded and made available for download via iTunes.
MIKA gets things underway on July 1st and will be followed by a wide range of performers, including Groove Armada, Beardyman and Dhafer Youssef.
Indie loving iPod owners will find plenty of shows to interest them, with rising British stars Editors, Little Man Tate, The Rakes and The Pigeon Detectives all confirmed in the line-up.
Meanwhile, British download site 7digital has revealed it plans to "take on iTunes" by offering DRM free tracks from artists signed to EMI and a variety of independent record labels for just fifty pence.
