Metallica continue to reveal more details for the 2013 edition of their Orion Music + More festival, set for June 8 and 9 at Belle Isle in Detroit, MI.
"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!,” posted the band on Wednesday.“ 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,” added the group. “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."
Metallica have previously confirmed the return of the Orion Custom Car + Motorcycle Show inside the festival grounds throughout the entire weekend.
As part of the event, 100 of the best customs, hot rods, muscle cars and custom motorcycles will be on display again this year.
