The Orion Music + More Festival is a metal concentric music festival which features other genres such as hard rock, punk, death metal, and hardcore. Orion will be held on June 8 and 9, 2013 at Belle Isle!

This is the first year Orion will use the riverside park as a setting for their festival. Last year's inaugural concerts were held in New Jersey. There were an estimated 40,000 in attendance for that event.
