Metallica have been added to the line up for the Voodoo Music & Arts Experience. The heavy metal giants are filling the headlining spot left open after Green Day cancelled their appearance at the festival. As previously reported, Green Day backed out of the festival following a bizarre public meltdown by frontman Billy Joe Armstrong.

The Voodoo Music & Arts Experience will take place October 26-28 at City Park in New Orleans, LA. The Voodoo Music & Arts Experience is known for its eclectic mix of mainstream artists and local New Orleans musicians. In addition to Metallica, the line up also includes Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Jack White, Justice, Skrillex, George Porter Jr. & The Runnin’ Pardners, Nas, Kaskade, The Avett Brothers, The Revivalists, Soul Rebels, Gary Clark Jr. and many more.
