All Points West Music & Arts Festival
August 8-10, 2008
The planned festival at
Liberty State Park
in Jersey City may be over six months away, but it’s already rumored to have some acts that I would actually leave Hoboken and go see!
Radiohead,
Bjork,
The Strokes,
Sonic Youth and more may play at this three-day festival.
This is an urban off-shoot of the west coast
Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival
, which is held in a desert, and requires pretty much camping out for three-days in order to attend.
Supposedly this event, plus other large concerts scheduled in the south Jersey and Philly areas caused the cancellation of the
Vineland Music Festival
poised to take place at the same time.
If this rumored list of performers turns out true, I’ll be there. What about you?
