Ealing Blues Festival Saturday 24 July 20101pm - 10pmWalpole Park Since its humble beginnings in 1987, The Ealing Blues Festival has become one of the biggest and most popular Blues events in Britain, attracting audiences of over 10,000 people.  Ealing has always been regarded as one of the spiritual homes of British Blues, largely due to the legendary ‘Ealing Club’ where many of Britain’s top Blues musicians started out.As London’s largest Blues Festival, it prides itself on presenting a broad spectrum of Blues acts and in 2010, for the first time, we are proud to present a piano player as the headline act. Ben Waters, one of the best Boogie Woogie Barrelhouse pianists on the planet, will headline the Main stage where he’ll be backed by The Guv’nors Rhythm Section. He will also be making an appearance on the Crypt Stage where he’ll be playing a solo set.The free families area will be open from 1-7pm at the Ealing Blues Festival, full of activities for all ages.Main StageHosted by Hayes FM’s Larry Vidal2.30pm - 3.30pm:  Storm Warning4pm - 5.30pm:  Northsyde6pm - 7.30pm:  The Spikedrivers8pm - 9pm:  Ben Waters & the Guv’nors Rhythm Section9.30pm -10.30pm:  Robert Hokum’s Blues Festival Finale Jam (feat.

The iTunes Festival London event kicks off again in July 2010 with over 60 great artists playing live at the Roundhouse in Camden. With the likes of the Scissor Sisters, Faithless and Ellie Goulding starring alongside Tony Bennett, Kate Nash, The XX and Ozzy Osbourne, the iTunes Festival London shows are set to be even bigger and more impressive than last year.

iTunes at RoundhouseA month long celebration of the best in live music, the iTunes Festival London event will see some fantastic bands and hot new acts take to the stage at the Roundhouse. Along with Ozzy, Kate Nash, The XX, Faithless, Ellie Goulding, Tony Bennett and the Scissor Sisters, some of the biggest names in the music business will be performing live and loud for everyone lucky enough to get hold of tickets.

Free festivalOne of the most exclusive free festivals to take place in London, for 2010 the iTunes Festival will once again take up residence at the Roundhouse with a much bigger lineup and a longer show run, giving you even more chance to be there and see your favourite artists play. But as with last year's event, each and every iTunes Festival London session will be recorded and available for download on the iTunes site, meaning that you won't miss out on a thing.

Incredible 2010 line upAlthough the full line up is yet to be confirmed for the 2010 festival, the acts already lined up are pretty impressive, with Ozzy Osbourne, Faithless, Ellie Goulding and Tony Bennett joining the mighty Scissor Sisters on the Roundhouse stage. And with last year's festival having Simple Minds, Bloc Party, Mika, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Bat For Lashes, La Roux, Friendly Fires, Placebo, Calvin Harris and Kasabian all taking part, there are high expectations that 2010 will boast a line up of a similiarly sublime calibre.
