All Points West Festival, NY

Elbow will be playing at All Points West Festival in Liberty State Park on Sunday August 2nd. The Sunday will be headlined by Coldplay. The other headliners over the weekend include Beastie Boys, Tool and Arctic Monkeys.

Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday. More details here.

Yesssss! She shoots, she scores....you can get there, right Topaz??

I surely can!

Although, I'd much prefer a smaller more intimate venue over a festival...still feeling hopeful that this may happen somewhere in NY. I'm being too choosy now aren't I?

Well, I know where you're coming from Topaz...smaller venue beats a festival to be sure, but I guess it's better than nothing! Maybe they will squeeze in one more date up there though...I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

Yeah I'd prefer a gig to a festival mostly because of set list length. This is the day after they do Osheaga, many shared artists there.

Looks a good lineup actually, MGMT, Seasick Steve, Fleet Foxes, Echo and the Bunnymen...

Hmm I wonder how much more a flight to NY costs over Montreal

Gah, I can't believe I'm considering paying >$200 for 2 tickets and driving to Jersey rather than going to the show right here in MA. We do have a friend right in Jersey city, but as previously said -- I'd much prefer a non-festival show! I'm not entirely convinced I'd get my $100 worth for 1 day... ::torn::

I'd love to see them again at Webster Hall!

Ditto!

Sounds like it'll be a great fest this weekend...hopefully we'll get a glowing report from Topaz when it's all over!
