Americans normally associate the summer music festival with the fields of rural Tennessee, the outskirts of a typical college town or a certain town in upstate New York. However, rarely do images of skyscrapers, urban ferries and an overall cosmopolitan setting enter one\u2019s thinking. Yet these are exactly the images <strong>festival goers will find at the second annual All Points West Music and Arts Festival<\/strong>. The festival has a line-up that rivals that of the country\u2019s best know summer festivals and it takes place in New Jersey\u2019s Liberty State Park, just across the Hudson River from the shimmering Manhattan skyline, and hundreds of <a title=\"Vacation rentals in New York City\" href=\"\/new-york-apartment\/vacation\">New York accommodations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>All Points West Music and Arts Festival enters its second year<\/strong> without skipping a beat. This year\u2019s offering includes three days of music headlined by the likes of the Beastie Boys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tool, MGMT and Coldplay. And while the bands on stage will be getting plenty of attention, it is the city of <a title=\"Travel Guide to New York\" href=\"\/blog\/category\/new-york\/\">New York<\/a> that will take center stage. Liberty State Park has some of the area\u2019s finest skyline views, with downtown Manhattan looming across the river. Festival-goers will have the opportunity to watch the Statue of Liberty proudly stand guard in New York Harbour while the lights from Manhattan skyscrapers reflect off the calm Hudson waters.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Unlike some other American music festivals, the All Points West event does not allow campers on site.
