One of the big critiques of Metallica when they announced this two day festival in Atlantic City, happening June 23rd and 24th, was that there was not enough metal on the event. The Four Horsemen have heeded your call. Today, they announced that the Orion Music and More festival will have an additional stage for metal and punk bands called the Damage Inc. stage, and the lineup for this stage is surprisingly kinda awesome:
Suicidal Tendencies
Sepultura
Torche
Red Fang
Kyng
Landmine Marathon
Black Tusk
Thy Will Be Done
Having Sucidial and Sepultura headline this bad boy makes perfect sense and the rest of the bands chosen seem pretty worthy in their own right. Overall, this is shaping up to be a pretty fun weekend. In case you forgot what the main stage lineup is like, here it is:
Metallica
Arctic Monkeys
Avenged Sevenfold
Modest Mouse
The Gaslight Anthem
Eric Church
Cage the Elephant
Fucked Up
The Jim Breuer Heavy Metal Comedy Tour
Best Coast
Hot Snakes
Titus Andronicus
Gary Clark Jr.
Lucero
Roky Erickson
The Black Angels
The Sword
Wooden Shjips
A Place to Bury Strangers
Liturgy
Soul Rebels
Don't forget, Metallica will be playing Ride the Lightning one night, and their classic Black album another. Metallica have yet to announce what sort of lifestyle events will be happening at the fest Tickets are now available through the official Orion Music & More webiste.
