Lars Ulrich says that the band would love to be asked

Published 24th Apr 2012

Ulrich was speaking to NME about Metallica's own music festival, Orion Music + More, which takes place near Atlantic City in June when he revealed that his metal band would like to be asked to play Glasto.

Ulrich said: "We've never played Glastonbury. I don't know if Michael would ever invite a harder rock band to play. It's something I would love to do at some point. We love playing, we love connecting with people, and you want to try to do that in as many situations as possible. Mid-May to September in Europe, it doesn't get better than that."

Orion Music + More will see Metallica headline both nights of the festival, playing the "black" album in full on one night and Ride The Lightning in full on the other. 

Arctic Monkeys, The Gaslight Anthem, Avenged Sevenfold, Modest Mouse, Cage The Elephant, Fucked Up, Hot Snakes, Titus Andronicus, Best Coast, The Black Angels, The Sword, and Liturgy are also booked to play the event which takes place on 23-24 June.
