Days after the organizers of Coachella announced plans for a three-day music festival where concert-goers can stare at the backside of the Statue of Liberty, the Vineland festival has been delayed a year.
Instead of having competing fests on the week of Aug. 8-10 - and forcing the people living between Princeton and New Brunswick which side they are on - the Vineland, N.J., fest is being moved to early summer 2009.
co-producers Festival Republic and C3 Presents say the move is due to "the overall festival traffic in the northeast and big bands touring through this area at the same time," but never once mention Radiohead in their release.
Co-producers say they did not want to force music fans to choose between three events on the same weekend.
