Coachella heading east this year?

Report says it's bound for the tri-state area

The Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival is heading for the east coast, it is being reported.

The festival is still scheduled to take place at it’s usual location of Indio in the Californian desert, but an additional festival is apparently in the works.

According to Perezhilton.com, it will take place in New York or New Jersey in August. The website quotes an unidentified source in the news piece.

Press officials for Coachella were unable to confirm the report today.

A new east coast festival called Vineland was confirmed late last year on NME.COM. It is being put together by organizers of Lollapalooza and Reading/Leeds Festivals.
