MEGADETH Mainman Says More Bands May Be Added To GIGANTOUR Main Stage

May 26, 2005

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:

"I was cruising the Gigantour site and noticed how many of the other bands fans are there. This is going to be very kewl because I believe you will meet and make new friends or get some good sparring in. I personally hope the former.

"I have also confirmed another band for the Stage 2 and that announcement will come later today. I am also thinking about adding another band to each stage, which could mean moving someone from Stage 2 to Stage 1, and I also have my sight on a really kewl new school band that does old school metal (actually two),and a veteran act for Stage 2.

"Stay tuned, it's gonna get real busy here before we leave for Europe on Monday morning. We are going to change our set list up for this summer (we have to in some places because we have less time than when we headline) and I think you will be surprised because they are some older songs. And I can't wait to see all of you awesome Droogies and She-Wolves again real soon.

"Finally, Lance was out here with me mixing a live track from Wembley of the 'Rust In Peace' lineup doing 'Rattlehead' for the DVD, as well as some instrumental mixes he did of some other little tidbits for soundbeds under the DVD's menu.

"And I will be seeing Michael Sarna for more filming of the Gigantour documentary this Friday; just more preliminary stuff like when we confirmed some of the other bands, and phone calls, etc. Also interview footage of why I am undertaking this insanity to please us all.

"Right? Right!

"Have a great day."
