Orion Music & More Festival

Music Festivals are invading the country. From large ones such as Bonaroo in Manchester Tennessee, to smaller local festivals such as Silopanna in Annapolis, people across the country are flocking to these festivals to see some of their favorite bands preform.

One of the many festivals popping up across the country is Orion Music & More, in Atlantic City. This was the Inaugural year for the festival, which ran June 23rd and 24th. Metallica coordinated the festival and headlined the festival, giving two stellar performances both nights. Metallica wasn't the only band to tear down the house. The Gaslight Anthem, Baroness, and Avenged Sevenfold all gave kick ass performances, and that's just a few of the many bands who performed.

Orion was very unique though because it wasn't just a music festival, it also had a "more" component. (Hence it being called Orion Music & More). Throughout the weekend, there was a custom car show, a surfing contest provided by Billabong, and several film screenings, among others adding to the fun of the weekend.

98 rock was at the festival with the hook up. We got exclusive access to performances and interviews with some of your favorite bands. Click below to listen to Stash and Steve Huber talk with The Gaslight Anthem.

Overall, Orion was a huge success. We'd like to thank Metallica for organizing the festival and we look forward to bringing you the best of Orion next year.
