Not exactly Coachella East
We learned two things today. 1) Don't ever reference Perez Hilton rumors. And: 2) apparently there is a need for another festival in the US.
"Sources say Coachella producers AEG Live/Goldenvoice will stage a summer festival with major headliners at Liberty State Park, just across the Hudson River from lower Manhattan. The event will not carry the Coachella brand."(via)
Billboard also mentions the Coachella lineup should be released very soon.

I heard about this a few months ago. I'm moving to the area so I am a little apprehensive about it. I think it would be awesome and it would definitely be a big push as part of Jersey City's revitalization plan, but it will also be a humongous headache in the way of traffic because Liberty State Park doesn't exactly have a huge amount of parking space, let alone grounds for a giant music festival the size of Coachella.

I read online that the site is 1,100 acres which is way bigger than the polo fields
