Metallica to Headline Atlantic City Festival

Heavy metal kings Metallica will headline a two-day concert festival in Atlantic City this summer.

The band announced Tuesday it will present the Orion Festival at the former Bader Field airport site on June 23-24.

One night, the band will play its legendary "Black Album" in its entirety. The other night, it will play all of "Ride The Lightning."

Numerous other supporting acts, as well as non-musical attractions, will also be on the bill. Tickets go on sale Saturday, with a fan-club pre-sale on Wednesday.
