Metallica will bring the noise to Atlantic City this summer with the Orion Music More Festival,
a weekend of music, comedy and culture. Set for June 23rd and 24th in
the seaside New Jersey town, the event will feature headlining sets from
the band each evening, during which they will perform two of their most
enduring albums in their entirety: their 1991 eponymous fifth release
(“The Black Album”) one night and 1984’s Ride the Lightning the other.
The Orion Music More Festival is the metal group’s first foray into
festival production. Said drummer Lars Ulrich in a statement, “We’ve
had the idea of doing our own lifestyle festival with lots of diverse
music and fun and games for years. 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.”
