We announced a day or two ago that Metallica would be announcing some big news. And let's just say it's pretty badass. They announced today that they will be putting on their own music festival featuring some of their favorite acts out there today, hand picked by Metallica themselves. The two day festival takes place June 23rd and 24th in Atlantic City, NJ. The lineup features Avenged Sevenfold, Arctic Monkey, Modest Mouse, The Gaslight Anthem, Cage the Elephant, Fucked Up, Best Coast and many more.
