APW Festival

[Cash is King]

Everybody in charge of Virgin Fest would have to die, and then their replacements die at the funeral, in order for V-Fest to not top this.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

If they do single day passes, I'd show up Friday for the Radiohead set maybe, but I can't imagine VFest not being much better then this (Radiohead aside).

Hey Seth,
 Please bring us Cat Power, too. Thanks!

[Vas Deferens]

They are really off...were they bored OR not enough "music news" to report?

Hey, buddy! You try to come up with a VFest prediction that gets 7% of its bands correct. It's harder then it looks!

Cash is King, meet Radiohead.  Radiohead, meet Cash is King.

looks like there will be 3 stages.
 
 the "getting there - by train" page states The Newark Penn Station stop directly connects to NJ Transit's Light Rail, which will bring concert goers directly to the festival grounds. i'm pretty sure this is wrong.  from newark penn, one can take the PATH train to grove street and it's walkable from there  (10-15 minutes) - but that's not "directly to festival grounds".  alternately you have to transfer again to the Hudson Bergen Light Rail line and pay another fare.  again, not direct.

Meh.

These are bands doing the festival circuit.  Virgin Fest is right on top of this one as far as the dates go.  The lineups are going to be similar.  Radiohead is great, but I'll wait until I see the VFest lineup.

[lomein]

$258 for this?
 I hope they're planning on some heavy additions.
