The attendance figures from last weekend’s All Points West Festival have been released and they ain’t pretty. Paul Tollett, president of Goldenvoice, the promoter, told the New York Times that paid attendance was 71,500 for all three days. Tollett also mentioned to the grey lady that attendance was down about 4,000 from last year due in large part to the horrible weather that enveloped the NYC area over the course of the weekend.

In my opinion, even if the Beasties were able to play and the weather was gorgeous the numbers still would’ve been bad. The lineup was all over the place and there weren’t any headliners able to draw in the masses like Radiohead did for the first two nights of last year’s APW.
