UPDATE: Pearl Jam NOT replacing Beastie Boys at All Points West concert

reported by Hudson Reporter.com

The organizers of the All Points West concerts in Jersey City are looking for a replacement headliner for the Beastie Boys. It'd have to be something that appeals to Gen X and has the same level of street cred.

On the APW message board, fans are batting around bands like Pearl Jam, the Killers, Sonic Youth (who have local roots), Kanye West, 2 nights of Tool (instead of one), the Cure, Wilco, Beck, and Kings of Leon.

UPDATE: NY Times reporting that Jay-Z will be replacing Beastie boys at APW. Sorry, PJ fans in Jersey City.
