Gigantour — whose moniker was inspired by the classic 1960s cartoon Gigantor — will criss-cross North America, with stops in amphitheatres and arenas in cities including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and Minneapolis, among others. The tour is implementing the fan friendly ticket price of approximately $35 each. Dave Mustaine notes: I think people may want an affordable alternative to the choices out there–along the lines of a pure music festival–like Monsters of Rock or Clash of the Titans.
Dave Mustaine handpicked the bands for Gigantour, with a focus on musicianship. There are a few very successful tours out each summer and in order to be significant, I knew the first Gigantour had to make an impact with top bands like Dream Theater, Fear Factory, Dillinger Escape Plan and Nevermore. Mustaine wanted to put together a festival that consisted of positive bands that play heavy music in a high energy environment.
