Metallica just announced that they'll be launching a music and comedy festival called Orion Music + More.

The inaugural festival will take place on June 23 and 24 Bader Field in Atlantic City, N.J. More than just music, the festival will also feature a lifestyle element showcasing the band's individual interests - and allowing fans to interact directly with each of the band members.
