The All Points West Music & Arts Festival kicks off today in New Jersey with a stellar mix of indie bands and mainstream giants. From Chairlift to Coldplay, the Ting Tings to Tool, this is the kind of lineup that will keep everyone satisfied.
Sadly, the Beastie Boys were forced to cancel their headlining slot tonight due to MCA’s recent cancer diagnosis. As he is known to do, Jay-Z stepped up to help out while Yauch undergoes surgery for the treatable illness. Also performing are the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the National, Vampire Weekend, Q-Tip, Organized Konfusion and MSTRKRFT, just to name a few.
Saturday highlights include Tool, My Bloody Valentine, Gogol Bordello, Artic Monkeys, Neko Case, Kool Keith and more. Sunday is a bit more laid back with Coldplay headlining, in addition to Echo & the Bunnymen, MGMT, The Black Keys, Mogwai, We Are Scientists and Lykke Li.
Electric Touch have always dreamed of imitating their music idols by playing a big stage, and this weekend they’ll get the chance to rock an enormous crowd. Good luck guys!
