==Gigantour==
In the summer of 2005, Mustaine launched a travelling North American metal festival. He named it [[Gigantour]] after a favorite childhood cartoon of his, [[Gigantor]]. It spanned six weeks and was co-headlined by Megadeth and [[Dream Theater]], with a variety of other supporting metal acts such as [[Fear Factory]] and [[the Dillinger Escape Plan]]. Mustaine has been quoted as saying that his main intention when conceiving the tour was to bring the American metal audiences an eclectic and affordable alternative to [[Ozzfest]].

The second annual Gigantour began in September 2006 and was composed of Megadeth, [[Lamb of God (band)|Lamb of God]], [[Opeth]], and [[Arch Enemy]]. The second stage bands were [[Overkill (band)|Overkill]], [[Into Eternity (band)|Into Eternity]], [[Sanctity (band)|Sanctity]], and [[the SmashUp]].

The 2007 Gigantour featured [[Bring Me the Horizon]], [[Static-X]], [[DevilDriver]], and [[Lacuna Coil]] along with Megadeth. Megadeth appeared on their first tour to Bangalore, India in March 2008.

The 2008 installment of the tour featured Megadeth, [[Children of Bodom]], [[In Flames]], [[High on Fire]], and [[Job for a Cowboy]] (and [[Evile]] for the UK and Scandinavia tour).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=87190 |title=Gigantour 2008 lineup |publisher=Roadrunnerrecords.com |access-date=November 8, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090502051211/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=87190 |archive-date=May 2, 2009 }}</ref>
