  The All Points West Music & Arts Festival, produced by Goldenvoice / AEG Live (Coachella) and Liberty Events in association with the HighLine Ballroom, will celebrate its inaugural year this august.
  
  
  
  Friday and Saturday night headliner Radiohead will be joined by Sunday night headliner Jack Johnson and more than 40 additional acts, appearing on three stages throughout the 80-acre historic location with panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Manhattan skyline.
  
  
  Tickets for All Points West go on sale Friday, February 29 at 12 Noon (ET) via www.ticketmaster.com only. A portion of the event's proceeds will benefit "Friends of Liberty State Park," and the three-day event is being created in a "green" festival environment, to include on-site parking for carpoolers only and ample public transportation to and from the site.
  
  
  
  Ferry service will be available from Manhattan directly to the festival grounds and light rail service via NJ Transit will run directly to the festival grounds.
  
  
  The event name is inspired by the area's rich history, particularly Ellis Island & the NJ Central Railroad terminal located on the festival site, where many arriving immigrants boarded trains for ALL POINTS WEST.
