Orion Music + More — the two-day festival created by METALLICA that will take place on June 23-24 at Bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey — has announced the addition of the Billabong All-Out Air Assault Surfing Expedition.

Commented the band: "Music and surfing have always gone together. At Orion, we are taking that idea to another level with an all out air assault competition.

"Come see some of the world's best aerialists and New Jersey local rippers taking to the air on the best waves Atlantic City has to offer.

"Get relief from from the sun, check out some surf flicks, and realize that life really is better in boardshorts at the Billabong Oasis Lounge.

"Who do you want to see compete? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter! And stay tuned for more details on the event coming soon!"An entire stage at Orion Music + More devoted to punk and thrash music — Damage Inc. Stage — will be headlined by SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and SEPULTURA, and will feature up-and-comers TORCHE, RED FANG, KYNG, LANDMINE MARATHON, BLACK TUSK, THY WILL BE DONE, and more.

Orion Music + More will feature multiple live music stages plus a lifestyle element that reflects each of METALLICA's bandmembers' many personal interests. METALLICA will headline both nights of Orion Music + More and play "The Black Album" in its entirety one night and "Ride The Lightning" in its entirety the other. This will be the only time the band will perform these albums in North America in 2012.
