The package festival Gigantour founded in 2005 by Megadeth's Dave Mustaine returns in 2013 with a new line-up for the tour. In addition to headliner Megadeth, the multi-artist bill features metal heavyweights Black Label Society, Device, Hellyeah, Newsted and Death Division, all picked by Dave Mustaine. The tour dates have also been revealed and you can check them out below.

Mustaine comments: "This year's power-packed lineup is probably the best Gigantour yet, and we've had some pretty massive Gigantours over the years. Gigantour 2013 brings four of my favorite bands, each centered around a superstar. With Zakk, David, Vinnie, and Jason there are going to be fans from Ozzy to Disturbed to Pantera to Metallica and everything that's metal in-between! Don't miss the metal festival of the summer!"

Gigantour 2013 will kick off on July 3rd in Gilford, NH and wind its way through North America, hitting cities throughout Canada and the US, wrapping on August 11th in Toronto, Canada. Tickets go on sale on May 10th with a special Gigantour pre-sale on May 9th. Check http://www.gigantour.com for further details.
