Not sure if i'm gonna go, depends on the lineup and ticket prices. Plus i doubt Opeth will play (they were only here in April) and Lamb Of God are touring in October.

 ah thatll be bloody awesome, the only international band i really wanna see live is Arch Enemy so hopefully they come. im not too fussed about Megadeth, Opeth or Lamb of God.... im more interested to see which local bands will get positions i say Lord, Black Majesty, Dark Earth, Chaos Theory and Vanishing Point would be an awesome lineup...... and perhaps In Malices Wake and Crimsonfire if they can fit some more in  now that would be incredible Pathogen are a damn good Aussie band that would fit. Support for Children Of Bodom last year. Pretty bloody good mate. From Perth I think they are. I'm with you Mitchy boy Arch Enemy!!! Arch Enemy!!! Arch Enemy!!!  |

Was just looking through the local street press and i've come across an ad for Gigantour 2006. It says coming in October and head to www.myspace.com/kmwproductions for full lineup details. I went there but it hasn't got much more info than that at the moment. |

To me the bands, besides megadeth, sound like complete crap. Bands like AE are nothing like Megadeth, its really gay. I agree with a mixture, so how about some Power/Prog bands, especially the European ones.

Too long have Australian Metal fans waited for a touring Metal Festival… Too long have they felt envious of U.S & European headbangers… Too much like Yoda does this press release sound… Enter GIGANTOUR, the fast and furious traveling festival that was hailed last year by Revolver magazine as "the mother of all shred festivals" will kick off its first trip to Australia in October. The brainchild of MEGADETH frontman DAVE MUSTAINE, GIGANTOUR will savage its way down the East Coast in October. MEGADETH will make their triumphant return on a bill that includes fellow heavy-hitters Soulfly, Arch Enemy, Caliban and more. "This is the concert that I, as a heavy metal music fan, would want to see," says MUSTAINE who handpicks the acts personally. "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." Having not being to Australia since their 2002 sold out tour, Soulfly will be making their presence felt on GIGANTOUR with their fierce, unrelenting, heavy and foreboding sounds. As expected of Max Cavalera, it is metal for the daring. Never safe and always engaging, Metal titans ARCH ENEMY - whose dynamic cocktail of melody and aggression has earned them massive critical acclaim, a rabid worldwide fan base and a slot on this summer’s GIGANTOUR in the US. Arch Enemy gathered an army of fans on their 2005 tour and are set to light a fire under the ass of metal fans that missed them last time. Rounding off GIGANTOUR is German’s finest Metalcore exponents, Caliban. Named after the wild, deformed slave in Shakespeare's “The Tempest”, Caliban are currently at their most creative ever. Brutal guitar staccato-salvos, complex alternate bombastic and clear walls of guitar, beautiful harmonies that consistently flair up and incredible rhythm, combined with this one of the most dynamic live shows going around that will knock the socks off every metal-core fan. Make no mistake…this is the Metal event of the year…this is GIGANTOUR. ________________________________________ ON SALE TUESDAY 22 AUGUST, 9AM SATURDAY 21 OCTOBER BRISBANE, THE RIVERSTAGE Ticketmaster www.ticketmaster.com.au 136 100; Rocking Horse; & Skinny’s Music SUNDAY 22 OCTOBER SYDNEY, HORDERN PAVILION Ticketek www.ticketek.com.au 132 849 TUESDAY 24 OCTOBER MELBOURNE, FESTIVAL HALL Ticketmaster www.ticketmaster.com.au 136 100; & Festival Hall Box Office 03 9329 9699 |

Soulfly at least have some alrite music, i just cant stand their vocalist max cavalera hasnt done anything good since leaving sepultura ( then again, sepultura havent done anything good since he left either) I think I will pass on this. All the good metal bands are already booked for the US and European festivals on at this time - this is a festival made up of the bands that no other festivals wanted. |
