Megadeth's Gigantour is returning for the first time since 2008. The 2012 version of Gigantour will have Megadeth headlining, of course, along with openers Motorhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil. Lemmy from Motorhead: "We've done festivals in Europe with Lacuna Coil and they're workaholics as well! Volbeat are great too; the whole bill is pretty diverse and I advise everyone who likes being deaf, and/or can lip-read already, to come out and see what the stuff that doesn't get any MTV Video Awards sounds like! Gigantour is just that!" He goes on to say, "Megadeth are one of the greatest bands to tread a stage anywhere and me and Dave have been promising each other we'd tour together ever since we met! Volbeat and Lacuna Coil are interesting choices and I think it's gonna be incredible trying to understand each other backstage! Come and see what eclectic means! (look THAT up in your Funk & Wagnall's)! See you!"
It will be Lacuna Coil's second Gigantour; they first performed as part of the 2007 tour. "When we were invited to join Gigantour once again, we were really happy as it seems like the perfect way to start the Dark Adrenaline album cycle in the US," says co-vocalist Andrea Ferro. "Our new album will be released during the tour and it's gonna be great. We will be playing alongside metal legends like Megadeth and Motörhead and it's gonna be awesome. It's a great touring package with two classic bands and two younger bands who each have a unique sound like Lacuna Coil and Volbeat. Can't wait!"
