Vineland Music Festival, RIP

i hope it rains and thunderstorms on all three days of all points west.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Too bad APW sucks.

Can't this area get a GOOD festival?

Why the FUCK is Jack Johnson headlining every North American festival this summer?

Its a festival, don't go see Jack Johnson and check out the other stage.

Yeah, two nights of Radiohead really sucks. Oh, and Animal Collective, Kings of Leon, Grizzly Bear, New Pornographers, The Felice Brothers, Chromeo, Metric, The Roots, that all sucks too.
If you don't like the lineup, stay home - nobody's got a gun to your heads.

Give APW a chance. If the long set format that they have decided to go with for the first year doesn't work out, maybe they will go to the typical festival format next year, with more acts and more stages. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't most of the established US fests start off small and then grow into what they are now?

this site if full of "PFC Fucknuts" types..

I know it's overrr
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real

Radiohead is the only band that legitimizes this entire festival. That being said, it's legit.

"i hope it rains and thunderstorms on all three days of all points west."

i hope it's sunny and hot...i wanna rock my daisy duke man shorts.

Looking forward to Altamont 2009.

Ok, APW is not the festival we were all hoping it to be. So instead of focusing on the negatives....just enjoy what it actually is, or stay away and do somethign else fun with your weekend.
My birthday is on 8/8 and Radiohead is my favorite band. Perfect! I'll only be able to attend on Saturday but that's good enough for me.

Stop the HATE!

i don't care it's your birthday. does anyone care? no.

I care anon 1:42. If I see you there, I will buy you a beer.

I think 1:42 wants a cookie, not a beer.

Inside info : WILL BERMAN will appear on the 2009 APW lineup

"That particular part of the country got too popular too fast"

when has jersey ever been "popular"??

(ANON 1:42)
who gives a flying fuck about your birthday falling on the day of the festival?

So you are 15 - who gives a shit?

(ANON 1:24)
All Points Weak is a joke of a festival - with apparently NO competition to change it IF it returns in 2009. People know (most have been) there are MUCH better festivals out there. Coachella and Lolla have already taken a huge dump on APW and it hasn't even happened yet. That should tell you something about how this "festival" has come about. If it weren't for Radiohead - this festival would be a MAJOR BUST - that is a fact.

(ANON 1:20)
As far as seeing something else other than Jack Johnson - the headliners don't play against anyone - so that theory is fucked. This has been one of the critisms of APW - as it's not really a festival in the big picture of what festivals offer - choice. Whether it's the incredibly thin line-up, or the genre-themed days (hippie jam band Sunday anyone), the festival is getting flak for many a good reason.

ANON 1"24

Yes, most fests start small, but that is yet another reason why APW is a joke - it's starting out huge and expensive - 50,000 + people a day means you better have your shit together, and put out a decent line up - which they failed to do.

Then again the first Coachella was small (and lost money) but it was so great people came back after a year off.

APW is NOTHING like that.

Coachella - great Festival

Lolla - great festival

Pemberton - ok festival

Roo - used to be good - not now.

Virgin - ok at best in Baltimore (better in Toronto)

APW - starting off as a joke

Vineland - never had a chance

APW tickets are only $15 more than Radiohead tickets at the Hollywood Bowl, and if it weren't for APW, Radiohead would just do two shows at Madison Square Garden with tickets at a similar price. With APW you get an infinitely nicer setting with several opening acts.

More big names per day would be nice, but the capacity is only 30k, so there's not enough money for them.

The lineup for day 3 is fucking shite, yes.

THE CAPACITY IS NOT 30,000 k!!!!!!!!!

It's more like 50k you retard

I thought this website was about food

I'm pretty sure the capacity is near 50k per day, from what I read in the NYDN a few weeks ago.

I am excited for going to a concert on my birthday.....sooooo uncoool!

Better that I should stand in the shadows at MHOW like a cathartic recluse?

Music can be fun and exciting....DEAL WITH IT!

I hope all of you snarky faux-Brooklyn hipster d-bags choke on your overpriced Urban Outfitter irony!

Yeah I heard 50,000 as well.

It has to be at least that, with a band ase xpensive as Radiohead. You know that Goldenvoice is going to make all the money they can - which means more tickets per day.

jersey is fabuloussss.

50,000 a day - all trying to see Radiohead for two nights - hmmmm? I'm going to have to pass.

A Radiohead tour stop roadtrip seems a bit more fun, and rewarding at this point.

Cleveland, here I come.

yeah a HUGE benfit to seeing RH on their tour is 15-20k beats the shit out of 50k any day of the week, esp if you have seats!

ALL POINTS WORST

humiliation APW.

F this so-called festival.

Radiohead show with a few more really good openers - nothing more.

"Coachella - great Festival

Lolla - great festival

Pemberton - ok festival

Roo - used to be good - not now.

Virgin - ok at best in Baltimore (better in Toronto)

APW - starting off as a joke

Vineland - never had a chance"

You forgot Sasquatch, which had a killer lineup this year.

For stage layout, drivability from NYC, & smallish crowd size, you can't beat Osheaga. If the headliners weren't so damn awful this year I'd be there.

^^^Oh what a surprise, Jack Johnson is headlining that festival too.

rothbury? acl? youre missing some good ones

and have you even been to all these shows?

Roo was ridiculously good this year. minus the Kanye fiasco.

ATP NY anyone?

radiohead in camden on 8/12 - hello...

People who are excited about Lollapalooza and hating on APW: Have you been to Lolla? It's the most corporate, crowded, hot (not their fault I realize) festival in the US, and while they normally land ace headliners, 75% of the bands are usually crappy. And it takes about 25 minutes to walk from one stage to another.

The All Points West lineup isn't really that bad. I'm looking forward to a much greater % of acts there than I am at Lollapalooza. There are a lot of great bands playing it. Apparently you need 5 headliners (like Lollapalooza) and to sell 75,000 tickets to impress people in NYC. And that's WAY too many for you guys to be comfortable.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. At least you have the Internet to keep you company.

"At least you have the Internet to keep you company."

And yr mom

Wow, that stings!

"Oh, and Animal Collective, Kings of Leon, Grizzly Bear, New Pornographers, The Felice Brothers, Chromeo, Metric, The Roots, that all sucks too."

All those bands routinely play NY and rarely sell out a show. Chromeo? Are you serious? I'm not saying they are bad, just saying that they do not make a festival.

No more often than bands playing Lollapalooza play Chicago, etc.
