Belle Isle will play host to Metallica's Orion Festival for the next three summers. That news has Detroit City Councilman Ken Cockrel amped, not only for the $100,000 in guaranteed revenue this year, but because Cockrel is a Metallica fan. "Would I bang my head? Yeah, if I had any hair," he said. The festival is scheduled for June 8-9, just one week after the Belle Isle Grand Prix. [CBS Detroit]
