Coachella Music Festival on the East Coast? (in New Jersey?)

Coachella NJ

I'm using a question mark in the title of this post, but I'm actually sort of positive that the festival Perez Hilton posted about is being planned for NJ...

Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that the Coachella Music Festival is heading east this year!

"In addition having the festival outside of Palm Springs, like they do every year, this year they're mounting an east coast version of Coachella in New York or possibly New Jersey," an insider tells us.

The East coast version is expected to be a few months after the Cali affair. "It should be in August," we're told.

This is not to be confused with the Vineland Music Festival, which also may, or may not, happen in NJ this summer. (thx Hiro)

i was reading this last night on the coachella boards. this is absolutely hilarious.

it's not coachella if its not in the coachella valley.

Posted by Bobby the Rookie | January 15, 2008 12:47 PM

that would be awesome

Posted by Daniil | January 15, 2008 12:47 PM

Boobt the Rookie has a very good point. Coachella is named that because it happens in the Coachella valley. maybe they can name this one Mahwah or Ho-ho-kus

daniil, that would not be awesome

You know Woodstock wasn't actually in Woodstock and Glastonbury isn't actually in Glastonbury?

this will just be another virgin fest..which was horrible. vineland fest will def trump this.

Wherever this will be held, that place SUCKS

"You know Woodstock wasn't actually in Woodstock and Glastonbury isn't actually in Glastonbury?"

so you're saying that Coachella East will be as legendary as Woodstock and Glastonbury? if so you are sadly mistaken.

coachella is great, but it belongs in the middle of the desert. i really hope they don't bring it out here. LAME.

Coachella isn't in Coachella either, it's in Indio.

Please people, get your place location names right already.

- Terminal 5
- Hipsters
- Daft Punk
- Brooklyn


I think there would be no more arguements on this site if these words were never mentioned again. Let's argue about this point!

I'm hoping this is a rouse to get all the New York metro areas hipsters rounded up into one place so as to have them gassed and or shot.

terminal 5 is moving to brooklyn, much to the chagrin of hipsters.

hipsters were, however, either genuinely disinterested or merely feigning disinterest when news broke that daft punk would play the inargural show when the venue jumps the east river.

the start time for the show is unavailable at this time.

(ask me later)

NEVER! Long live the Daft Punk set time inquiry! At least until the Radiohead show is announced, in which case we can substitute that band in Daft Punk's place.

So now, that leaves us with a real stumper:

What time does Radiohead replace Daft Punk in the eternal query, "What time does Daft Punk go on?"

Posted by Anonymous | January 15, 2008 3:33 PM

hipsters did not go see Daft Punk, it was all gay dudes and nerds. get your fan groups straight.

The rumor is spreading because it's true. What someone decided to tell the pink haired hen first is beyond me.

Also the new festival is going to sell out easily based on the big name they've secured. Easily

Posted by Monklish | January 15, 2008 3:52 PM

so i guess zep is headlining the east coast shindig? or is it MBV?

they are going to ruin a really good thing by doing this. first they added an extra day, now this. don't blow it guys! we have a world class festival that has worked just fine in coachella, keep it there and keep it real.

Posted by k | January 15, 2008 9:22 PM

"Coachella" East Coast Line up > Coachella 2008

Potential Coachella East Coast.....
1) Radiohead/Muse
2) Hip hop headliner.....Jay-Z, Kanye, or Outkast
3) The Strokes/Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I hope we get 3 days! But I'm counting on two.....

Coachella 2008:
Muse, The Strokes, The Flaming Lips, Beck, Outkast, .....RADIOHEAD?
