Or at least of version of it will. It has just been announced, first by Perez Hilton and then by Billboard, that concert promoters AEG Live/Goldenvoice will be bringing their insanely successful music festival formula to the east coast. Not much information has been released, but it has been made clear that the festival will not bear the Coachella moniker. This yet-to-be-named musical orgy will take place at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, a park previously best known for boasting prime views of downtown Manhattan and housing the Liberty Science Center. (Honestly, has anyone seen a nature movie on the “Omnimax” screen there? It is bananas.)

According to Mr. Hilton’s source, the festival will take place sometime in August, putting it in close competition with the Vineland Festival, another musical smörgåsbord taking place in New Jersey in August. Unless, of course, some Vineland residents get their way and that festival doesn’t take place.

While this may not be Coachella: New Jersey Edition, the idea is definitely promising. Certainly good news for people who like good news.

(Also of note: Is this the first Observer Blog post to link to Perez Hilton? If so, awesome.)
