New Jersey’s Festival Turf War Heating Up

Fire up the back room at Satriale’s Pork Store: We jokingly discussed increasingly confirmed East Coast Coachella‘s menacing impact on the definitely confirmed Vineland festival. But the New York Times this morning advanced the story, casually mentioning that both New Jersey festivals are tentatively scheduled for the weekend of August 8th – 10th. Is it time to go to the mattresses yet?

Maybe it’s too conspiracy theory for you, but it makes us wonder what role the Neighbors Against Rock Concert Site (NARCS!) had in helping Vineland’s new enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, we’ve often heard. The Times also printed that Radiohead and Jack Johnson — opposite ends of the quality spectrum — may be headlining AEG and Goldenvoice’s Liberty State Park event.
