Legendary crew The Glitch Mob will be headlining at X Games Austin 2015 alongside Nicki Minaj and Metallica this June. To rev up the fans for a weekend of music and action sports, The Glitch Mob have just released a remix of Metallica’s “Lords of Summer,” which is being used as X Games Austin 2015’s official anthem and is featured in the ad campaign for the event that launched this week. It will also be integrated into the ABC and ESPN telecasts and The Glitch Mob’s Sunday performance at Circuit of The Americas.

“Metallica is one of the greatest, heaviest, and most significant bands of all time. They defined heavy music as we know it today,” said The Glitch Mob. “We listened to their catalog religiously. “And Justice For All” is one of the greatest albums ever—it has an immersive narrative, deep emotion, and gnarly power. Our mission has always been to bring that same raw energy into our own electronic music. It was a true honor to remix Metallica: to collaborate with our heroes.”
The trio has also delivered a run of upcoming spring and summer tour dates, including festival appearances at Sasquatch, Electric Zoo, and Northcoast, co-headlining California shows with Chromeo at Santa Barbara Bowl and Berkeley’s legendary Greek Theater, as well as performances at both HARD Red Rocks and HARD Summer.
