Gigantour

Gigantour was a sporadically organized traveling heavy metalmusic festival organized by Dave Mustaine of Megadeth. The tour was founded in 2005 with dates across North America (see also Gigantour 2005), and the 2006 and 2007 line-ups also traveled to Australia. The bands appearing at the festival were chosen by Mustaine. The tour was an alternative to tours such as Ozzfest. The name "Gigantour" was inspired by the classic 1960s animeGigantor, of which Mustaine is a fan. The last Gigantour took place in 2013.
