Singer/songwriter Jack Johnson, whose latest album has been No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts for the last two weeks, will headline the final night. Johnson is also one of the headliners at the Coachella festival near Los Angeles in April. Both events are organized by the same promoter, AEG Live/Goldenvoice.

All Points West will take place at Liberty State Park, just across the Hudson River from lower Manhattan.

The lineup also features such acts as Kings Of Leon, Cat Power, the Roots, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and Youssou N'Dour.

Tickets go on sale February 29. Single-day tickets are $89, while three-day passes will sell for $258.
