| MEGADETH Return To Australia To Headline GIGANTOUR 2007. |
|
|
|
After the phenomenal success in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane last year, GIGANTOUR is back and will be playing Adelaide and Perth for the very first time as well. This year MEGADETH will be joined by LACUNA COIL, DEVILDRIVER and STATICX. Assorted press release is as follows:
"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…"
"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."
"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!"
Tour Dates:
Nov 10 @ Metro City; Perth (18+)
Nov 12 @ The Barton Theatre; Adelaide
Nov 13 @ Festival Hall; Melbourne
Nov 15 @ Luna Park; Sydney (18+)
