Recent Apple news say that the Cupertino-based corporation will host over 25 artists across an eleven-day music festival in London. This major music festival, dubbed iTunes Live: London Sessions, will feature names such as KT Tunstall, Jos? Gonz?lez, Tom Baxter, Ro?s?n Murphy, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Spiritualized and many more.

iTunes Live: London Sessions begins on 21 February, but if you want to take part at the event, you'll have to work your way towards earning the tickets because (check this) tickets aren't sold! Instead, iTunes has set up this competition where iTunes Store Account holders must enter their full name, county and the e-mail address associated with their iTunes Store Account.

Over 11 magical evenings, starting on Thursday February 21st, 2008, iTunes will host a series of unique recording sessions. More than 25 of the world's most talented musicians - including KT Tunstall, Jos? Gonz?lez, Tom Baxter, Ro?s?n Murphy, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Spiritualized and many more - will perform solo and collaborative sets in London's legendary AIR Studios.

Entry to these special events is free of charge for competition winners. The performances will be recorded and sold exclusively on iTunes, states ituneslive.co.uk.

But don't think one try will do it. No sir, you'll have to keep running after those tickets almost daily, if you don't want to miss out on any of the performances. For example, ituneslive.co.uk will tell you to...

"Enter your full name, county and the e-mail address associated with your iTunes Store Account below to win a pair of tickets to see Charlene Soraia, Jos? Gonz?lez, Julian Velard and Stephanie Dosen live at AIR Studios in London on Thursday February 21st, 2008."

If you win, you'll be able to watch the performances available on February 21st. For say... February 23rd's Alphabeat and Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, you'll need to visit ituneslive and go through the same procedure all over again.

Remember, the performances will be recorded and later released exclusively through iTunes, so you won't be sad if you miss out on some of the artists' performances.
