Orion Music + More
February 7, 2012
We are beyond excited to announce
the introduction of the Orion Music + More Festival, a brand new
festival that we, your friends in Metallica, will be the headliners,
curators, and instigators of. After many years of playing at legendary
festivals around the world including Reading, Roskilde, Werchter, Rock
Im Ring, Rock In Rio, Lollapalooza and countless others, we're hoping to
spread the good times and diverse musical feel here in the States and
bring the amazing good vibes and spirit of our 30th anniversary
celebration at the Fillmore Theatre in December to a larger, outdoor
setting. We've got two nights of live 'Tallica mixed with all kinds of
cool bands, activities and stuff to see wrapped into one incredible
weekend planned for you. And for the only time in America this year,
we're planning to continue the 'Black Album' anniversary celebration by
playing it in its entirety on one night AND something we've never done
before... drum roll please... all of 'Ride the Lightning' on the other!
If you had a chance to watch the live webcast, you know now that our
location will be Bader Field in the heart of Atlantic City, New Jersey
on the East Coast on June 23 and 24, 2012. We've joined forces with our
friends at C3, who bring you Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits each
year here in the U.S. as well as presenting Big Day Out to our
Australian friends. Together we've invited a wide range of bands and
musicians to play on multiple stages (at least three!) including Arctic
Monkeys, Avenged Sevenfold, Modest Mouse, The Gaslight Anthem, Cage The
Elephant, Fucked Up, Best Coast, Hot Snakes, Titus Andronicus, Gary
Clark Jr., Lucero, Roky Erickson, The Black Angels, The Sword, Liturgy,
and more to be announced in the coming weeks. We've also put together
non-music activities for you to experience when you take a break between
sets... hopefully a chance for you to interact with us and see some of
the stuff we're into.
