GIGANTOUR 2009: First Rumored Acts
AVENGED SEVENFOLD and BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE are rumored to be in talks to take part in next year’s North American Gigantour — the acclaimed traveling heavy music festival launched by MEGADETH mainmanDave Mustaine.
No official announcement has yet been made regarding the lineup of the fourth edition of Gigantour, which will once again feature MEGADETH in the headlining slot.
Conceived in 2005, Gigantour — proclaimed “the mother of all shred fests” by Revolver magazine — resurrects metal’s focus on stellar musicianship.
The third installment of the North American Gigantour officially launched on April 12, 2008 in Denver, Colorado with headliner MEGADETH, Swedish metal band IN FLAMES, Finland’s CHILDREN OF BODOM, Arizona’s modern extreme act JOB FOR A COWBOY and Oakland, California heavy power trioHIGH ON FIRE. The 29-date trek criss-crossed North America and wrapped May 22 in Phoenix, Arizona.
The “Gigantour 2” DVD and CD, which contains footage from the second coming of Gigantour, arrived on April 22 via Image Entertainment.
“Gigantour 2” features over an hour of blistering performances by iconic and influential heavy metal pioneers MEGADETH — who have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide in a career now spanning 25 years — along withLAMB OF GOD, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY, OVERKILL, THE SMASHUP, andINTO ETERNITY. Recorded in DTS 5.1 surround sound, the DVD version also features a behind-the-scenes look at the 2006 tour, while both the DVD and CD offer a hidden bonus track — MEGADETH‘s ever-relevant “Peace Sells”.
The “Gigantour 2” DVD and CD follow Image Entertainment‘s fall 2006 release of the debut “Gigantour” CD and DVD which featured unforgettable performances by MEGADETH, DREAM THEATER, FEAR FACTORY,ANTHRAX (CD only), NEVERMORE, LIFE OF AGONY, SYMPHONY X, DRY KILL LOGIC and BOBAFLEX.

this is a very strange line up(if it ever does happen). megadeth is def alot older & have totally different fans than a7x or bullet. but bullet just got done touring & they’re workin on a new album.& a7x just finished touring & are also starting a new album. so itll definitely be 2010 before they tour again. im a fan of all three bands but i dont think they should be touring together
Well, Bullet are my favourite band, and a7x im not really too into, but I do know for a fact that Megadeth would shit all over both of them. No disrespect intended or anything, but I think whoever says otherwise needs there heads checked…”piggy”.
I must admit, BfmV are my favourite band ‘n all, and im not really fond of a7x, But Megadeth would shit all over them both to be quite honest and if you think otherwise, i’d say you need your head checked..
HAHA ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!
Megadeth would wipe up the floor with those fagmoes
fuck you you have no idea what your talking about b4mv and a7x will definetly put on a better show than megadeth
that is such a lie. idk who keeps on saying that they are going to play gigantour but they are not. They have already been on tours and are taking a break.Even if they were playing gigantour I would show up late and miss both those bands and watch megadeth.
I agree with Josh, Dave wouldn’t let them NEAR gigantour, they aren’t real metal.
