Having downloaded Apple’s official iTunes Festival app to try to bag tickets to the Foreigner/Europe double bill, we were surprised to get a push notification last night alerting us to the fact that the opening gig of the festival by the Scissor Sisters was being livestreamed within the app.And so it was. In fact, users can stream the video of selected performances live, and on-demand for up to seven days after the shows. The app also lets people pre-order the live EPs that will be released on the iTunes Store throughout the month.The quality of the video stream was pretty good too – that’s a screenshot we took on our iPhone while watching, as are the ones below.
