Metallica have been teasing a big announcement well the band themselves revealed it today during a live webcast. They just announced their own festival called, “Orion Festival & More” which will take place on June 23 & 24th in Atlantic City, N.J. Ticket pricing will be $125 for two day pass, MetClubUltraPass for the good stuff will be $225.

See the band line-up for the Festival, here.

The band said it’s not just a metal festival, they want to have all genres of music as you can see. This is Metallica’s own festival.

Ozzy has his own music festival with Ozzfest. Dave Mustaine has his own festival with, Gigantour. Now it’s Metallica time to have their own festival.

While I love Metallica, I would have to be honest and say that this is big news? It’s disappointing. I kept thinking they were going to make their “3D” movie that they’ve been planning official, but nope.

I also think the ticket pricing are a bit overpriced. Dave Mustaine’s Gigantour tickets weren’t that high. Dave always kept the Gigantour pricing pretty affordable.

I’m predicting Metallica’s festival will probably bomb.
