Metallica, in conjunction with friends C3 Presents, today announced line-up additions for Orion Music + More, the two day festival created by Metallica that will take place June 8th and 9th at Belle Isle in Detroit, MI. Rocket From the Crypt, Vista Chino, Dead Sara and local favorites Matt Clarke and Calico have all been added to the already stacked lineup. You can see the entire line-up here.

Orion is the perfect place for that to happen…I’m looking forward to it,” said Robert Trujillo.

Vans will be returning to Orion in 2013 with a full vert ramp, featuring pro skating demos happening right alongside live music. Vans will also feature four signature models of the Vans x Metallica footwear at Orion, including two Kill ‘Em All styles.

Music fans will be able to stay well fed and hydrated throughout the weekend with the addition of the Orion food area, …And Food For All. Orion Music + More has enlisted Detroit restaurateur and entrepreneur Phil Cooley of Slows BBQ to curate the area and showcase some of the region’s great offerings.
