SWEET!!! I was just watching Lars on That Metal Show last night talk about it.

Saw that yesterday, I will be there \m/

Hopefully The Black Dahlia Murder gets on the bill again.

It looks like, if this document is 100% accurate, and it appears to be, that Detroit, and more specifically, Belle Isle will be the home of the Orion Music + More festival for the next 3 years!

If I read that correctly this is a 3 year deal.

Not cheap. I don't think they've announced prices yet, but last year's was $175 for both days, or $90 for a single day. $150 for early bird (whatever that was) and $750 VIP.

I'm just hoping that they announce the set list before tickets go on-sale, as I'm only really interested in hearing their old stuff. e.g. If they did Kill Em All on Sat night, and Master of Puppets or And Justice For All... on Sunday, that would be pretty sweet.

I'll go and enjoy Ozzy when they literally push him out in a wheelchair to just sit there.

That's not bad considering the event, though. Sure other rock/metal events are cheaper but most Metallica shows are nearly $90 just to get in the door anyway.

Usually, a Metallica show lately, has been $75 for anywhere. Main floor? $75. Reserved seat lower bowl? $75. Nose bleed? $75.

There will be a Metallica Fan Club early pre-sale, then the public sale. And I wouldn't expect to see prices too different from the 2012 pricing. All the details come out sometime in February.

 

[CMYZ28]

I'll be going fo sho

 

[That Guy]

Yeah, no way I'm missing this one. Friends from all over are coming in for the show. I wanted to go last year, but over $3k in car repairs in a 2 month window shut that down.

 

[lucky7]

Fuck Metallica.

Someone had to say it.

 

[That Guy]

Bring it the FUCK on!

 

[DBK]

So what's included for the astronomical price of $750? Do I get like private guitar lessons with James Hetfield or something?

I'll go but lineup isn't all that great.
