The NJ All Points West Festival is coming back for a second year, and what a great lineup. Beastie Boys, Coldplay, MGMT, Black Keys, The National, Vampire Weekend, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Ting Tings and lot more.
Two of the interesting bands playing here (at least for me) are Echo and the Bunneymen and My Bloody Valentine. Saw both of these bands many, many years ago and they were great, but after 15+ years are they going to still rock?
The festival is July 31-August 2 at Liberty State Park in New Jersey. Tickets are $199 for a 3-Day Pass and $89 for a single day pass. Kids 5 and under get in free.
It sucks that All Points West is sandwiched between the two great Chicago festivals, Lolla' and Pitchfork. It would be great to stay in Chicago for a week and a half to see Pitchfork and Lolla', then head to Jersey for All Points. Oh well, I can't have everything. So here's the plan, see Pitchfork in Chicago, take a week off of rockin', fly to NJ for All Points and then back to Chicago for Lolla'. Brilliant!
