Trey Anastasio, Ben Harper Join All Points West Fest

Ben Harper , Trey Anastasio , Matt Costa , Ben Jelen and Robyn have been added to the Sunday lineup for the first All Points West Music & Arts Festival, scheduled for Aug. 8-10 at New Jersey's Liberty State Park. Additions to Friday's bill include Grizzly Bear and The Duke Spirit .

The new artists join headliners Radiohead and Jack Johnson , who will be performing full sets in their only New York-area appearances this summer, according to a press release. More than 40 acts are scheduled to perform on three stages throughout the 80-acre location, which features panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Manhattan skyline.

Festival organizers also announced transportation options to foster their commitment to a green festival environment, including ferry service from Manhattan directly to the festival grounds. Advance tickets for ferry service--a 15-minute trip that will take concertgoers past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island before arriving at the concert site--are available at Ticketmaster. (Ticketmaster is LiveDaily's parent company.)

Light rail service directly to the festival grounds also will be available via NJ Transit/Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. For more information, visit www.njtransit.com.
