Coachella Adds To Lineup, All Points Doesn’t

West Coast: Welcome. East Coast: Fuck off. That’s pretty much what promoters decided after it was announced today that Aphex Twin, Goldfrapp, Kate Nash, Serj Tankian (of System of a Down) and Adele were added to California’s already lengthy lineup at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival while New Jersey’s All Points West Festival remains the same with half the number of acts.

Both festivals, spanning over three days, boast just one impressive headline act with Coachella getting Portishead and All Points getting two nights of Radiohead – both evenings of which are sold out. The president of the company backing both festivals told Billboard "That's what it's going to be right there. That show is half the size of other festivals."

Besides the fact that Radiohead is playing, everyone on the East Coast has complained about the rest of the lineup, which includes Kings of Leon, Cat Power, CSS and The New Pornographers. Considering New York gets to pretty much see every musical act that tours, I guess we can’t complain too much. But freaking Aphex Twin?
