Metallica probably have played at every major music festival in the world. They have played for millions of people all over the world, but they have never curated their own music summer festival. Until now.
Their festival is called Orion music festival and it will take place in Atlantic City, NJ on June 23 - 24 at Bader field. Metallica will be headlining both nights. First night they will perform The Black Album in its entirety and on second night they are set to perform the whole Ride The Lightning album.
Metallica have chosen 22 other bands, which will perform at festival. It is a mixture of metal, hard rock and indie rock bands. Playing will be Arctic Monkeys, Modest Mouse, Fucked Up, The Gaslight Anthem, Best Coast, Titus Andronicus, Cage the Elephant, A Place to Bury Strangers, Roky Erickson, Lucero, Hot Snakes, The Black Angels, Gary Clark Jr., The Sword, Liturgy and Avenged Sevenfold.
I would say it is pretty interesting lineup. Tickets will go on sale on February 11 at 10 am EST. For those who are members of Metallica's fan club, tickets will be available from February 8 -10.

Anyway, what other artists would you like to see curating their own festival? I would love Dave Grohl to create his own festival. I bet it would have kick-ass lineup.
