Good news New Jersey! Two of your major upcoming music festivals have added acts today, with both ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror NJ and Orion Music + More fortifying their already strong lineups.
ATP doesn’t appear to be adding by quantity, but, rather, by quality. Today the fest, which runs from September 21st-23rd in Asbury Park, announced that Godspeed You! Black Emperor will be making an appearance at the event, marking a surprisingly busy festival season for the hard-to-book band, with previously announced appearances at Coachella and Pitchfork. Godspeed will join curators the Afghan Whigs, The Roots, The Make-Up, and more. For the full lineup and ticket details, check out the festival website.
Orion Music + More, on the other hand, doesn’t have a game-changer like Godspeed to add to their lineup, but, rather, are rounding out their bill nicely with a bunch of highly regarded groups. Added to the main bill are Eric Church, The Jim Breuer Heavy Metal Comedy Tour, Soul Rebels, and Wooden Shjips. There will also be a side-stage devoted to punk and thrash that will feature Suicidal Tendencies, Sepultura, Torche, Red Fang, Kyng, Landmine Marathon, Black Tusk, and Thy Will Be Done. These join preciously announced headliners Metallica as well as Modest Mouse, Arctic Monkeys, The Gaslight Anthem, Titus Andronicus, Best Coast, Fucked Up, and more. For tickets and the full lineup, visit their website. The festival will take place on June 23rd and 24th in Atlantic City.
