Coachella East = All Points West Music and Arts Festival!

AAAAHHHHH, FESTIVAL MADNESS!!! Some people go to the beach, some people take long bike rides and watch the sunset, but for me, a concert freak, and the only Italian who is actually allergic to the sun, summer means outdoor music festivals! (and lots and lots of sunscreen!)


Well, its official: The Coachella people ARE putting on a music and arts festival on MY coast, the EAST coast, on August 8,9, and 10 at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ. This festival will be called the All Points West Festival, and the lineup is still TBA but rumors are flying already that Radiohead may be playing!

Unfortunately, and rather stupidly if you ask me, All Points West is the exact same weekend as New Jersey's first annual Vineland Music Festival, which is put on by the promoters of Lollapalooza. Luckily, Chicago's darling veteran, Lollapalooza will take place on August 1-3, 2008.

I love August! EEEEEk, I can't wait for lineups to be announced.

Also, don't forget that Pearl Jam is still rumored to be headlining the Bonnaroo music and arts festival which will take place in Manchester Tennesee early in the festival season, on June 12-15.
