Tomas Chlebek iTunes Festival, this year renamed to apple music festival, has been held every September since 2007, and since 2009 artists from all over the world have been playing for Londoners in the legendary Roundhouse.
It is this one that Apple has now decided to renovate in order to reduce the negative impact of the operation of the building and the festival on the environment. Lisa Jackson, the company's vice president of environmental affairs, said today reported on Twitter. It refers to the "frequently asked questions" page, one of which questions whether Apple is taking good care of Roundhouse.
Apple Music Fest gives a gift to the Roundhouse: energy & Environmental upgrades. Leaving it better than we find it. http://t.co/DgjNRG08bZ

The answer to the question is as follows:
You bet. To show our love, we're giving a 168-year-old building an environmental makeover. We fundamentally improve lighting, installation and HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning, editor's note); we install recycling and composting bins; we arrange the transformation of used frying oil into biofuel; we are buying renewable energy credits to cover the Roundhouse's electricity consumption for September; and we offer reusable water containers instead of plastic ones. We expect these improvements to reduce the Roundhouse's annual carbon emissions by 60 tons, save 60 gallons of water per year, and divert 000 kilograms of waste from landfill.
With this move, Apple once again shows that whether its activities related to reducing the negative impact on the environment are part of marketing or a sincere effort to improve the world, it is consistent in them and does not focus only on what is most visible.
The Apple Music Festival started on Friday, September 18th and will continue until Monday, September 28th. Little Mix and One Direction take the Roundhouse stage today.
on mobile and tablet, both have iOS 9, I don't have access to the festival. When I click on a recording or a live concert, only a black screen appears and nothing happens. Does anyone have a similar problem? What about that?
It doesn't even work on my Mac. I tried it at home and at work and nothing. I click on Watch the Gig in iTunes and it says an error has occurred. Does anyone know if they limited it to only selected states this year? At the same time, it works in ATV3. As far as iOS is concerned, in the past years, the app was in history. This year I didn't sow at all.
I'm joining too. It doesn't work on my iPad, iPhone under iOS 9, when I click on the link, the screen just goes black. The editors here could investigate and write something about it. As for iTunes, it doesn't work there either, but what I found out on Macforum, someone wrote that it works, but he doesn't have a Czech IP, and someone there advised to switch from CZ to US and then it should work. It was still possible last year, but I don't know what changed in that year, if the rights for the Czech Republic... I don't understand it.
just switch to the US version in the itunes store
Thanks for advice. After the switch it is already running. But it's scary... I wonder why. They didn't say anywhere, it's only for our fans in selected states.
And where does it switch?? somehow I can't find it..
