All Points West may not return in 2010

New York Times have just put out an article on All Points West not so certain future. Excerpt below. Full article here.

It may be only February, but for the concert industry the summer is already here, with artists completing their tour schedules and festivals releasing their lineups. Bonnaroo, in Tennessee in June, has announced most of its 100-plus acts, and blogs have been buzzing for weeks about who is expected for Lollapalooza in Chicago in August.

One name, however, has been conspicuously absent from the chatter: All Points West, the three-day festival at Liberty State Park in Jersey City. Begun two years ago by the promoters behind Coachella, the trend-setting event in the California desert, All Points West got off to a rocky start, with fan complaints in 2008 about slow ferries from Manhattan, and heavy rain last year.

Executives at AEG Live, the promoter of All Points West, say they have not yet decided whether it will return for a third year. [Ben Sisario - NY Times]
