The first names on the line-up for the first edition of the Apple Music Festival have been unveiled.
In not so surprising news, the 10 day event will replace iTunes Festival and run from 19-28 September at London's Roundhouse.
Apple confirmed the first set of headliners earlier today, with Pharrell, One Direction, Florence And The Machine and Disclosure all set to appear. More acts are expected to follow soon.
Of the announcement, Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, said: "We wanted to do something really special for music fans this year. The Apple Music Festival is a greatest hits set of ten unbelievable nights featuring some of the best performers on the planet appearing live and interacting directly with their fans on Connect and Beats 1."
Disclosure, who will be playing to mark the day of their album release (25 September), said: "We’re super excited to play our first ever show for Apple Music Festival at the Roundhouse, one of our favourite venues in London. It’s also the day our album’s released so that makes it extra special!"
