Megadeath Presents Gigantour The legendary lineup for this incredible concert includes metal heavyweights MOTÖRHEAD, Danish hard rock rising stars VOLBEAT, and female-fronted Italian gothic metal act LACUNA COIL. With nine Grammy nominations under their belts and having enjoyed five consecutive Platinum and multi-Platinum RIAA certifications, as well as seven Gold certifications during their career, Megadeth need no introduction. They've essentially written the book on heavy metal and hard rock. “Gigantour” was founded by Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine in 2005 and was last seen in the U.S. in May 2008. Mustaine founded the tour in 2005 and invited such artists as Anthrax, Dream Theater, Fear Factory, Lamb of God, Opeth, Static-X and In Flames to join Megadeth in the past. Megadeth’s thirteenth album – appropriately titled TH1RT3EN – is out in stores and online today via Roadrunner Records. One of the most influential metal groups of all time, Motörhead's overwhelmingly loud and fast style of heavy metal was one of the most groundbreaking styles the genre had to offer in the late 1970s. Led by iconoclastic front man Lemmy, the Grammy Award-winning band has spawned numerous tribute albums and fan clubs while selling over 30 million albums worldwide since their self-titled debut album released in 1977. Motörhead plans to release a new live performance film on DVD in January 2012 called The World Is Ours – Vol. 1, Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else which features footage from their Santiago, Chile concert recorded this past April. Denmark-based Volbeat plays a fusion of rock and roll, heavy metal, punk and rockabilly. Their latest release, Beyond Hell/Above Heaven, was subject to widespread international critical acclaim, receiving double platinum in Denmark, platinum in Finland, and gold in Sweden, Germany, and Austria. Their headlining US club tour over the summer was an incredible success and their newest single “A Warrior’s Call” is currently charting on active rock radio.
