Among, others, of course.

Here’s a disclaimer: I used to dislike Coldplay because their music bored me to death. A couple of years ago, I suddenly found myself listening to them and enjoying it. Maybe I am getting old…

Anyhow, Coldplay headlining the 2014 iTunes Festival should make some people happy, as the band does have its fair share of fans. I am just as sure, though, that there will be critics asking questions along the lines of “Couldn’t have Apple gotten someone better?”

It’s not just Coldplay who’s part of the lineup, though. Perhaps some of these names will interest you:

• Imagine Dragons
• London Grammar
• Keith Urban
• Willie Nelson
• Pitbull
• Zedd

Plus, there should be more artists added as the date nears.

The 2014 iTunes Festival is coming to South-by-South-West (SXSW) for five nights from March 11 to March 15. From the press release:
