METALLICA and SLIPKNOT are among the first confirmed artists for the Optimus Alive! 09 festival, set to take place July 9-11, 2009 at Passeio Marítimo de Algés in Oeiras, Portugal. This eco-friendly event (recycling is vital to the festival's ethos) starts at 5:00 p.m. every evening.

Last year's Optimus Alive! festival featured performances by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and WITHIN TEMPTATION, among others.
