Beastie Boys , Coldplay and Tool will headline the second annual All Points West Festival at New Jersey's Liberty State Park this summer.
Scheduled for July 31-Aug. 2, the three-day music and arts event will feature more than 65 acts across several stages, including a tent featuring comedians and DJs, among other talent.
Other confirmed acts on this year's roster include Echo & the Bunnymen, My Bloody Valentine, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Gogol Bordello, The Black Keys, Fleet Foxes, Neko Case, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arctic Monkeys and more.
Tickets for the festival go on sale this Friday (4/5).
Transportation issues that surfaced at the inaugural event last year have been addressed, as APW Festival producers have partnered with NJ Transit to offer free rides on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail line throughout the weekend to passengers holding an event ticket, as well as discounted ferry rides from lower Manhattan to Liberty State Park. Further festival details can be found at the festival's website.
