Lineup Announcement: All Points West Music & Arts Festival
Despite its name, the All Points West Music & Arts Festival is actually held on the East Coast and is sometimes referred to as “Coachella East,” which actually makes more sense, but whatever.
If you were looking for an excuse to spend your summer vacation in New Jersey, well then the All Points West Festival is right up your alley. Hosted in Jersey City, this festival takes a bit more planning than the others because it requires you to take a ferry to Liberty State Park. (If you thought finding parking was hard…) However, once you’re there, you can simultaneously partake in rock and sightseeing; according to apwfestival.com, the festival is held in a “historic location that has panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Manhattan skyline.”
Done and done.
APW will be held on July 31, August 1, and August 2.
Ticket presale begins on Thursday at noon.
Side note: The people at All Points West don’t mind if you bring a backpack or a fanny pack–but we’re gonna encourage you to stick with the backpack.
