Gigantour 2008

BANDS AND DATES FOR MEGADETH’S ANNUAL
HEAVY METAL CIRCUS ANNOUNCED

Megadeth

Megadeth will hit the road again this year with their caravan of heaviness, Gigantour. North American dates begin on April 12th at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. In addition to Megadeth, this installment of Gigantour will include In Flames, Children Of Bodom, Job For A Cowboy and High On Fire.

“The breaking news is we are going to have five bands this year, instead of eight,” says Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine. “The decision to drop it down from eight bands to five was based on timing, set lengths, stage sizes, unions, and most importantly allowing ‘us’ – the musicians – to deliver to ‘you’ – the fans – the best shows we can.”

Gigantour UK will make its debut in Norwich on Feb 17th and finish up in London on Feb 24th. Scheduled for the main support is special guest Job For A Cowboy, and thanks to fan votes on TheLiveLine.com, the UK’s own Evile will open the entire tour.
