Radiohead to headline two nights of All Points West :: Music News :: Articles

For those of you who were perhaps a little disappointed when the news of Coachella's line-up broke exactly a month ago, sort of shrugged your shoulders and said "meh" when you heard about SXSW's gargantuan musical line-up, and missed out buying Radiohead ticket this past weekend because you forgot they went on sale Saturday morning, well, here is a bit of good news to ease your troubled mind.

An announcement was posted last night on URB magazine's website, which announced that everyone's favorite British band (and no, we don't mean Oasis) will be appearing at All Points West, the East Coast version of Coachella. Oh, and did we merely say appearing? We meant to say that Thom Yorke and Co. will be headlining two of the festival's three nights. That's 66.7% of All Points West. They call that a supermajority in politics.

Not many other details of the festival have been announced yet. But there are a long six months before August is upon us, and the beauty of Liberty State Park and Jersey City in all it's late-summer humid (and potentially smelly) glory awaits.

In the meantime, check out Radiohead at one of the dates listed below. Or, if you were unable to get tickets because they were already sold out when you finally remembered that they had gone on sale and you are extremely sad about this (not that this writer would know anything about that), watch the following video of the band playing "Idioteque" live, and then head over to YouTube and watch some of the nearly 3,000 videos that feature live Radiohead.
