He’s the greatest in the game in this writer’s humble opinion, and now the crowds at All Points West’s kick-off on Friday, July 31st at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ, can also prepare to give respect. Jay-Z (or rather, J. Hova) is now confirmed to make his U.S. music festival debut as he takes over the night’s headlining spot vacated by the Beastie Boys in light of the recent announcement that Adam Yauch (MCA) was diagnosed with cancer when a small tumor was found on his left parotid (salivary) gland.
Jay will be in good company on Friday as he shares an impressive bill with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, The National, Fleet Foxes and fellow hip-hop stars Q-Tip and the Pharcyde, among many others.
