More than 40 acts will appear on three stages throughout the 80-acre historic location with panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Manhattan skyline.
Our festival’s name is inspired by the historical events that occurred at Liberty State Park, Ellis Island and the Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal (CRRNJ) located on the festival site. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the now abandoned Central Railroad Station at Liberty State Park served as the gateway for immigrants on their journey into the United States as they embarked across the country to ALL POINTS WEST. The immigrants of Northern, Southern, and Eastern Europe purchased tickets and boarded these trains on the CRRNJ, which then took them to their new homes throughout the United States. The Terminal essentially served these immigrants as an opportunity to the realization of their hopes and dreams of a new life in America.
Today, Liberty State Park continues to serve a vital role in the New York Harbor area. We have chosen the names of our stages for this festival - Blue Comet, Bullet, and Queen of the Valley - from three of the most important trains running through 19th century New Jersey. These trains carried thousands of people from New York, through New Jersey, and onwards, to the rest of the country.

I didn't have Little Brother on my list to see at Outside Lands. They were close enough to where I could hear the beat and ended up getting pulled in. They were very entertaining and gave the crowd a show. There music makes you want to dance.

"the grandiose arena rock that characterized U2's early albums"
What is this guy talking about? Has he ever listened to anything by U2 before Joshua Tree? Does he even know what arena rock is? When U2's War came out, U2 was still playing in night clubs.
Anyway, There is no comparing U2 to Radiohead. That's stupid. They are two different things. U2's music is simplistic and moralistic, whereas Radiohead's music is complex, guitar laden, with strange scales and time changes.
The problem with Radiohead is that they turn good acoustic songs into rock opera, overplay their instruments, and overproduce their tracks.
That's not to say U2 had no influence. U2 has influenced many artists, Coldplay for example. That's not a bad thing. That's how music has worked for centuries.

Yes they have a significant loyal fan base but just take a look at the other negative reviews. Their sound has a uniqueness to it that is refreshing in this era of pop repetition and tickets to a show would be much appreciated here!

Tried to see them in LA with Bob Dylan but got lost and missed them. I would reccommend them to anyone.

I hear Radiohead and I get two things that pop up in my head:
1) I see whiney teenagers that grow into adults that complain about everything, surrounded by overly-agreeable friends. These guys who're so "fed up with the pains of society and the corporate machine that is enslaving us all". While in the same breath they use to explain how anti-starbucks and socially proactive they are they talk about the latest TV shows on primetime, and suggesting they go for a burger at one of the ultra-corporate fast food mega-chains...
And…
2) That guy on the college campus that is so "Sensitive" and "Understanding"... But is just out looking to get his penis wet on some vulnerable easy young girl that wears her emotions on her sleeve. Sure he's got a guitar and can play every Radiohead song from memory, but when was the last time they actually said something that was originally their own thoughts and not some formula panty removing statement that has been refined from years of marinating in the same shallow empty sexual sociopathy they been soaking in since the first time they got bored of someone that wasn't themself...
Enough about Radiohead's fan base that I see and have to put up with on a daily basis. Let’s move on to the actual "music".
This is the perfect example of the rot that's in the music industry. Radiohead drones and whines their way into the pop scene being so "deep" and "experimental". To me, they are a pile of whine backed by a chorus of steel and cellophane being shredded by rusty antique machinery that's about six centuries overdue for a good oiling...
I think I could do better. Like Radiohead, I have absolutely no skill in singing and playing instruments, but I am sure with a consistent supply of hammers I can hit my feet enough and record whatever comes out of my mouth...
Whaaaaaa!!! Whaaaaa!!! Whaaaaaa! I'M SENSITIVE AND DEEP!!!! My feet bleed from the hammers produced by the oppressors of society!!!!
Hmmm... I think I am on to something here...

One of the greatest rock bands of any style and any era. Inventive, sonic, soulful, and powerful.

Underworld is one of the greatest bands of all time. You may have heard their track during the final scene of the movie "Trainspotting." If you listen to any of their album releases, it becomes clear after a few listens that they are extremely brilliant and talented musicians. While they are primarily electronic musicians, they have a background in rock, and so they are a perfect blend of both worlds. The lyrics and vocal tracks are just as hypnotic and kinetic as the music. They also put on a great live show, where improvisation plays a big part, and the dynamics of the compositions can be breathtaking. I saw them live about 5 years ago, and it remains the best music show I've ever been to. You really have to see them for yourself. Their music makes me feel extraordinary.
