GIGANTOUR OZ 07 2007-08-09 by Epilogue | 21 Comments | Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has claimed that GIGANTOUR 2007 will in fact commence. The entire news was posted via MySpace bulliten, and reads as Follows...
Metal’s own festival, GIGANTOUR finally took on Australia in 2006, sticking its giant foot up the ass of every metal fan throughout the Country…a trail of destruction left in its wake.
So step aside posers… GIGANTOUR is back in 2007 and it’s a carefully-parted-fringe free zone!
After the phenomenal success in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane last year, GIGANTOUR will also be taking in Adelaide and Perth for the very first time.
In 2006, GIGANTOUR creator Dave Mustaine promised “It is going to be something to look forward to each year, to see what kind of tremendous talent we can assemble, for GIGANTOUR festivals in the years to come." One year on and the talent has been assembled and is set to blow 2006 away…
Megadeth return to headline GIGANTOUR as part of their worldwide Tour Of Duty supporting new album, ‘United Abominations’, which Heavymetal.com proclaims ‘is the best Megadeth album in at least a decade’. Megadeth are back to their finest form and have spawned a classic thrash album harking back to the halcyon days of Rust In Peace and Countdown To Extinction. The nasty snarl is back, Dave is back, and like a weary eyed farmer he is proudly looking over the metal field he has sown…fertilizing the seeds of the future for more pale imitators to follow.
Having elevated themselves beyond Cult worship status, Static X has developed a rabid Australian fan base, built mainly on a massive arena tour with Korn and a sold out co-headline tour with Ill Nino. If you have never witnessed the evidently psychotic and vocal themes, harsh and neurotic vocals of Wayne Static, then prepare yourself to enter the world of Static X…and join a chorus of thousands who have already been marked with an X.
Since the arrival of their self titled debut in 2003, Devildriver, have made a massive impact on the metal scene with their monstrous grooves, brutal, haunting vocals and crushing live performances. Australian fans caught a glimpse of the Devildriver onslaught on their co-headline tour with Fear Factory, but with a brilliant new album in tow and massive stages to destroy…Devildriver will be taking no prisoners!
They gave us Quentin Tarantino, Al Pacino, Frank Sinatra & Liposuction and now they give us Lacuna Coil…is their anything the Italians can’t do? Featuring the lush, powerful vocals of the stunning Cristina Scabbia, Lacuna Coil will be making their first trip to Australia as part of GIGANTOUR. Loud, elegant, mystical and ambient…prepare yourself for a set of tuneful, atmospheric doom-pop gems from Century Media darlings, Lacuna Coil.
MEGADETH / STATIC X / DEVILDRIVER / LACUNA COIL…this is GIGANTOUR.

Even though this is nowhere near me, last years line up was wayyyyyyyyyy better, I'll tell ya.
| | |
to see what kind of tremendous talent we can assemble
So they brough Static X beeecaaauuuusse...?
| | |
Worst Gigantour ever.This Message Edited On 08.09.07
| | |
Static X are a lot better than Devildriver and Lacuna Coil.
That's not really saying much, mind.
| | |
I think they're alot worse by far, but devildriver and lacuna coil really arent good either.
| | |
I shure hope the US Gigantour does not have Devildriver or Static X. I wouldnt mind seing Lacuna Coil, but if they were removed from the bill it wouldnt bother me. Im sort of indifferent to them.
| | |
Devildriver owns. Static x are decent.
| | |
Awful.
| | |
They gave us Quentin Tarantino, Al Pacino, Frank Sinatra & Liposuction and now they give us Lacuna Coil
Ahahahaha. Lacuna Coil? Ahahahaha.
| | |
Sounds pretty bad...
| | |
Yep, Gigantour has gone to shit. Lacuna coil are one of the worst bands I've ever heard in my life.
| | |
Gigantour looks a bit lame this year. Devildriver ain't bad and ofc Megadeth are worth it.
| | |
yeah I'd much rather have Megadeth + Opeth or Dream Theater or whatever
| | |
Oh wow
| | |
Hmm, I may go to it. Although, I would rather see Muse which are coming 2 days after it. Megadeth and Lacuna Coil would be alright. Although, I think I would only see Lacuna Coil for Scabbia.
| | |
this is GIGANTOUR Australia 07 not Gigantour 3 which Dave has said won't happen till Jan this year and i doubt he'll want Static-x to ruin the great US tour, i like Lacuna Coila and Devildriver is ok at best but still better then Static-X.
| | |
Its like they are telling australia to go fuck itself.
| | |
Horrible line up.
| | |
I like Lacuna Coil, but from live clips I've seen of them, they put on a freaking terrible show. Static-X and Devildriver are kind of fun to listen to, but still, I'd much rather other bands on the bill. I'm still gonna see what Dave pulls out of his ass for the US Gigantour.
| | |
Megadeth and Devildriver would be sweet to see..................Static X sucks balls these days and Lacuna Coil, well, they just sound like every other female fronted, generic, alternative band today.

horrible line up
