Metallica has issued a preview/trailer for their upcoming Orion Music + More festival.
The event is set for June 23 and 24 in Atlantic City, will feature Metallica headlining alongside more than 30 artists personally selected by the band.
As part of their 2012 tour, Metallica will play their classic “Black” album in its entirety on one of the nights for the first time ever in the U.S., and perform the “Ride The Lightning” album on the other night.
Metallica bills the inaugural Orion Music + More as “more than just music, the festival will also feature a lifestyle element showcasing the band's individual interests - and allowing fans to interact directly with each of the band members."
“We've added the Damage Inc. stage which will headlined by our friends Suicidal Tendencies and Sepultura and will feature lots of cool, heavy, thrash and punk bands that many of you have not had a chance to experience yet including Torche, Red Fang, Kyng, Landmine Marathon, and more,” announced Metallica in their latest festival update.
“We've added to the current the line-up Eric Church, our 30th anniversary partner in crime, Jim Breuer and his Heavy Metal Comedy Tour, Wooden Shjips, and our other Fillmore buddies, the Soul Rebels... they'll be joining Arctic Monkeys, Avenged Sevenfold, Modest Mouse, The Gaslight Anthem, Lucero, The Sword, and many others all listed on the event's website. There is a lot more information for you about the festival in the new FAQ section, and an awesome new video to watch with clips from many of the artists who will be joining us in Atlantic City.”
