METALLICA, in conjunction with their friends C3 Presents, present the 2013 Orion Music + More Festival, to be held at Belle Isle in Detroit, MI on June 8th and 9th. Metallica have issued the following update:

"We’re bringing back the Metallica Museum in 2013, so stay tuned for more details and information about all of the awesome memorabilia we’ll have on hand in Detroit! Classic Metallica guitars (including the last bass that Cliff Burton ever played), amps, lyrics, merchandise, stage props and more...except this time it will be BIGGER and BADDER!

Last year, festival-goers basked in the glory of 30 years worth of band history and memorabilia in one single spot at the Metallica Museum. They strolled down Metallica memory lane and snapped shots of the band’s rare guitars, like the originals James and Kirk used to record Kill ‘Em All, Ride The Lightning, and Master Of Puppets, Justice stage props, and vintage tour posters and t-shirts. For the Pushead fans in the crowd, the museum will display pieces of his original Metallica artwork."

"Last year's Orion Music + More Festival was hands down the highlight of the Metallica calendar. A great time was had by all, especially the band members," said Lars Ulrich. "The fact that it also resonated with enough of our fans and friends that it warrants another go-around in '13 is beyond exciting. I can think of no better place than the Motor City, with its rich and diverse history of music, for the second ride on our Orion festival train. Bring it the fuck on!"
