APW taps Jay-Z to replace Beastie Boys
You read right. All Points West has tapped a fellow Brooklynite to replace the Beastie Boys. In what will be his first American festival appearance ever, Jay-Z will serve as the Friday night headliner for this year’s festival.
All Points West takes place from July 31-August 2nd at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.com. Full lineup here.
Note: Just in case you ARE NOT satisfied by the addition, APW is offering refunds for Friday single day tickets.
Well, damn.
I wish Jay Z came to play Lollapalooza *sad face*
wow many lollaboard members were asking for Jay Z… i’m sure this will piss them off since YYYs are on the APW lineup
well…that just blew Lolla out of the water name and recognition wise…
Wow. Hopefully he plays Osheaga as well. That would be huge
i think pearl jam would have been ideal but i’m sure jay-z will rock. i would love for them to add one more name to the line-up. i mean make us go crazy we need mroe rock
untrue, he played the HFStival a while back. An american fest.
Is it not okay to say I prefer the lineup this way?
