]]>Metallica announced today the creation of Orion Music + More, a new annual music, arts, and lifestyle festival founded and headlined by the band. Orion Music + More will take place June 23 and 24 at Bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
“We’ve had the idea of doing our own lifestyle festival with lots of diverse music and fun and games for years,” said Lars Ulrich. “Finally this year all the practical ducks lined up in a row, and we are beyond psyched to bring Orion to our fans, friends and the curious. After the most incredible of weeks ever in December 2011 celebrating our 30th anniversary at the Fillmore in San Francisco, CA, bringing the spirit of that week, the looseness of that week, the possibilities of that week, the fan interactive elements of that week, and the (fill in your own blank here) of that week to a festival setting is so exciting we can hardly contain ourselves.”
Orion Music + More will feature multiple live music stages plus a lifestyle element that reflects each of Metallica’s band members many personal interests. Metallica will headline both nights and play “The Black Album” in its entirety one night and Ride the Lightning in its entirety the other.
