Last year we attended the All Points West festival in Liberty Park, New Jersey, and let us sum it up with a two-word review: "Shit sandwich."

The biggest problems were A) the fact that it took hours to get a goddamn beer because of ridiculous security precautions and, B) the fact that it took hours to get a goddamn beer.

That said, the A.P.W. fest is back this year, and festival producers Goldenvoice (who also stage Coachella) promise that there will be larger concessions, and that the beer gardens will be relocated so that you can actually see bands while you're in there.

Confirmed acts include: The Beastie Boys, Tool and Coldplay, who will serve as headliners at APW, held between July 31st through August 2nd. Also, MGMT, My Bloody Valentine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fleet Foxes, the Black Keys, Heartless Bastards, the Ting Tings, Neko Case, Vampire Weekend, the National and plenty more.
