FESTIVAL NEWS: All Points West Festival is Coachella for the East Coast

Have you snagged your All Points West Fest tickets yet? Seriously, have you? Got mine today, and it's the one thing consoling me over my depressing inability to attend Coachella. But believe it or not, this is actually better than Coachella, if one can even conceive of such a thing. Yessiree, my 3-day passes to the All Points West Fest guarantee that I get to see Radiohead twice. Yes, TWICE! Wait, think about that for a sec.  Now run and go get your tickets here!

Yes, you East Coast Radiohead naysayers still have many reasons to catch the All Points West Festival. Spanning the weekend of August 8-10, it's the first festival to attempt on the Eastern Seaboard what Goldenvoice has achieved so magnificently in the desert with Coachella: A multi-day, must-see festival bringing together a diverse array of genres and the buzziest of buzz-worthy bands. Yep, this is your shot at bragging rights for the next full year, cuz you caught all the bands the cool kids will be talking about. And you'll have the photos to prove your newly cemented indie kid cred.

My favorite things about the All Points West Festival:
--Radiohead headlining TWO nights (and I'll keep saying it, thank you very much!)
--Chromeo
--CSS
--The Roots
--The New Pornographers
--Mates of State
--Cat Power
--Sia
--Animal Collective
--Amadou & Mariam
--Rodrigo y Gabriela
--Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
--Oh yeah, and Jack Johnson is headlining day 3. How's that for switching it up?
