Jack Johnson Joins Radiohead For APW, Jersey's Summer Music Fest
As revealed yesterday, the inaugural APW Festival -- AKA Jersey Coachella -- will indeed feature two nights of Radiohead. And one of Jack Johnson, which we predicted. (JJ's also playing Coachella and Bonnaroo; there is no escape, friends.). All Points West, which hits Liberty State Park 8/8-8/10, is touting its Radiohead coup as follows: "This marks the first time that a cutting-edge band will headline multiple nights of a major U.S. music festival." Meaning moe.down is a minor festival or moe. is not cutting-edge! Burn. Anyway, two Radiohead setlists means they'll play "Creep." Hurrah.
Confirmed line-up so far...
Radiohead
Jack Johnson
Underworld
Kings of Leon
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Cat Power
The Roots
The New Pornographers
Youssou N'Dour

Why is Jack Johnson so popular? He does the Curious George soundtrack and the response is 'How cute!!' rather than 'Sell out'.
Score = -1
you idiot. you obviously dont know him. stop being the ignorant fuck that you are ok. and that goes to everyone of you. the societal cohesion of mainstream brainwashed norms. grow a dick! he has a LOT of songs than just the curious george alright. but ofcourse thats just what you people are familiar of since you guys dont know any better. seriously!
Score = 0
nobody yelled "sell out" because nobody gave him indie credibility to begin with.
Score = 0

Jack gets top billin' cause he's white.

I was expecting to see a line-up announcement with the amount of bands that Coachella, Lolla, or ACL usually have. I am super excited to see radiohead for two nights in a row but the rest of this line-up is ultimately disappointing! I'm looking forward to Andrew Bird, Girl Talk, Animal Collective.....but when I went to ACL there were around 40 bands I was psyched to see. I'm not trying to complain but I guess I just had huge expectations that were obviously not met.

Jersey is pretty much the armpit of America.

Hey, nice photo! I can see my car getting stolen on Grand Street in Jersey City.

The top billing looks almost like it was ripped from The Onion.
Classic: WTF...??

From this, we can infer that Jack Johnson has pictures of Paul Tollett doing something.

jack johnson is like fallout boy, it makes these white suburban kids who listen to top 40 radio feel like they're "rocking out"
Score = 0
Radiohead & Underworld on the same bill makes it totally worth it... two of the best live acts out there! They seriously need to beef up the electronica end tho... let's get some Basement Jaxx and Royskopp on there!
and when did everyone (supposedly) start loving Jack Johnson so much? Do they sell his cds at Starbucks now or something? uggh...
Score = 0
is there only going to be one stage at this 'festival?' because spread out over three days that's like 12 bands a day (or 11 since radiohead is graciously playing two days). hmmmmm.....
and NickG, everyone is so hard on jack johnson because he has no cred and his fans post the same thing three times on blog sites that shouldn't be talking about jack johnson to begin with. and it's because HE BLOWS!!!
Score = 0
Hmm...
It's not *bad*, but it's not particularly exciting as well.
However, it's in my home state, and includes Radiohead, Underworld, and Andrew Bird. That's pretty enticing if you ask me.
Perhaps they should just copy the entire lineup from one of the major UK festivals.
Score = 0
heeeyyy !!! that for money WTF !!!!! leave me in peace and buy the tkts fast !
ps> thanks NickG your are the one
Score = 0
I insist JJ
Score = -1
Gross. This lineup (except for Radiohead, Black Angels) makes me very very very angry with the residents in Vineland, NJ who protested a festival from happening there and succeeded. Would have been constructed from the minds of England's great concert promoters and put NJ as a summer festival must for years to come. This "All Points West" does just that, points all festival seekers in NJ to head on out to the West. And Jack Johnson is the worst part about it. Makes NJ look like we have no Musical Intellect. I have Johnson now more than ever. I will be buying a ticket tho haha
Score = 0
with the exception of Radiohead, this is all acts that should be playing at BB Kings.
Score = 0
This is a great lineup....and yes Jack Johnson is no Radiohead, but he is used as marketing at these festivals to attract a diverse crowd.
Score = 0
Radiohead is more overrated than Jack Johnson even, go ahead and pretend Yorke has a "lilting falsetto" it's garbage, just like Jersey. Booya
Score = 0
Why can't Bonnaroo get Radiohead???
Score = 0
This lineup would be better if Radiohead was axed and Jack Johnson played 2 sets.
Score = 0
JERSEY GETS RADIOHEAD!!! LAUGH IT UP, KIDS!!!
new jersey is truly the greatest state in the nation, though these tix are mad overpriced.
Score = 0
dude, Radiohead is enough for me to go to this fest. I mean Jersey never, EVER gets good indie bands to play let alone Radiohead. And Rogue Wave and Animal Collective? But it does need to some other bands. I'd go for
1. Decemberists
2. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
3. TV On The Radio
4. The Shins
5. Tokyo Police Club
6. The Horrors
7. Regina Spektor
8. Fiona Apple
and Cold War Kids.
Jersey REPRESENT!

The talented artist Jack Johnson has succeeded in many fields. As a singer and songwriter, musician; he has gathered numerous fans during his musical career. His style has attracted a great number of fans in this is so obvious in his concerts. Once I decide to attend one of his concerts but tickets were so pricy then I missed it because I couldn’t afford the price. Lately a friend has recommended me a site to compare ticket prices.

I will always look for the lowest prices because I’m thrifty and I do want to see my favourites with fewer fees. Of course I’m not mean!!!!
Score = -2
Jack Johnson is amazing in concert. I have seen him four times and he never disappoints. I hope he puts out some new material soon, its been far too long!
