It feels good to be blogging from my own house again. Anyways, let’s get started with festivals as there were some big announcements this week. The biggest would be All Points West (Coachella East). The festival will include two nights of Radiohead, which is ridiculous. Here’s the line-up so far:

Radiohead, Jack Johnson, Underworld, Kings of Leon, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Cat Power, The Roots, The New Pornographers, Youssou N’Dour, Animal Collective, Andrew Bird, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Metric, CSS, Girl Talk, Chromeo, The Go! Team, Amadou & Mariam, The Black Angels, Sia, The Felice Brothers, K’Naan, Jason Isbell, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Alberta Cross, The Virgins, Black Kids, Mates of State, Duffy, Forro in the Dark, Nicole Atkins, Juana Molina, Little Brother, Rogue Wave, Neil Halstead and Your Vegas.

Outside of Radiohead the line-up seems a bit weak to be charging $258 for a weekend pass, but I guess with Coachella selling out last year so fast, they have decided to really push the price limits this year. Regardless, though, I may still go to this on the strength of seeing Radiohead in such a cool location and hanging out in New York City. Tickets go on sale this Friday. The fest goes down August 8th-10th. Get all the info at the website.
