Lookout Vineland, Part 2 (In the Mix)

Lookout Vineland, Part 2

Looks like there's going to be a North-South festival showdown in New Jersey this summer, for real. The festival being presented in Liberty State Park in Jersey City by Goldenvoice, the promoters who put on the annual Coachella fest in the California desert each April, now has a name. It's going to be called the All Points West Music & Arts Festival. And it also has dates: August 8-10, which is the same sumer weekend that the Vineland Music Festival is scheduled for in South Jersey. The web site is here.

Also: Coachella, which goes on from April 25-27 in Indio, California, has announced its lineup. Headliners include, Portishead, Love & Rockets, Cafe Tacuba (pictured), M.I.A., Vampire Weekend, Roger Waters, Justice, The Breeders, Stephen Malkmus and Dwight Yoakam, as well as locally connected acts Diplo, Spank Rock, Santogold and Man Man. Tickets go on sale Friday. Details at www.coachella.com.

JL:

Vineland will have some problems competing. Apparently Radiohead will be headlining the festival at Liberty State Park. Based on the response I have seen from Coachella fans, they are none too happy that Radiohead got tapped for a brand new festival, and ancient, aged Roger Waters and Portishead (!) are headliners at Coachella.

Yeah let's hope Vineland isn't as underwhelming as Coachella. The headliners just aren't as exciting. There are good acts playing but most of them I can see here on tour in the next few months. I don't see why Radiohead couldn't play Vineland and Liberty...it'd be convenient wouldn't it?

I'm betting Radiohead won't be playing both, especially since they're supposed to be coming to Philly, too. But it would make sense for a lot of the smaller acts to do both Jersey festivals, logistically, anyway.

The headliners at Coachella are weak but the undercards are strong. Lots of great bands there, just hard to get excited about Jack Johnson.
