Gigantour offdate.

I get In Flames and COB all to myself, heh.

There are two more, but with Job for a Cowboy, not COB.

 

[rouw316]

Very lucky

Toronto will be awesome!

 

[Woffer]

rawrr! can't wait, Montreal the 29th!

 

[HateCrew Fan]

Hey Woffer, you from Montréal too ! Nice.

Are there still any tickets left for the Montréal Gigantour ?

 

[Bodom Survivor 6661]

You've never seen COB headline?

 

[Bodom Survivor 6661]

You've never seen COB headline?

Nope, I got into them right after the release of AYDY so I missed most of their tours but could only remember them playing like at unholy alliance.

 

[The Butt]

Just curious, anyone know how long the setlists should be for each of the bands?

oh. Ok, they headlined in late 05 with Amon Amarth and Trivium.

Then in early 06 with Chimaira and Through the Eyes of the Dead. Then in late 06 with Amon Amarth, Gojira, and Sanctity(which I can't see myself seeing anymore)

Just curious, anyone know how long the setlists should be for each of the bands?

I'm guessing here.

HOF-30 min. Maybe 5 songs
JFAC-30 min. Same with HOF.
In Flames and COB, might be switching for every date. But I'm assuming 40 min to an hour for both. Could be 8-10 songs
Megadeth-90 minutes to two hours.-15 songs maybe.

There's plenty left, it is a 21,000 capacity stadium you know......No more floor tickets though...

That's what I originally thought, but now I think each band's set will be quite a bit longer after looking at past gigantour lineups/set lengths. And since Dave apparently cut the number of bands so he could give longer sets, I wouldn't be surprised if CoB/In Flames got about 75 minutes both, JFAC about 40 minutes, and HOF about 30.. With Megadeth obviously getting 90 minutes+. That adds up to just over 5 hours, which is still shorter than the past Gigantours, and a great fucking time for anyone there for more than Deth.

 

[Nikki]

A second New York date announced.

WTF. Original dates said two NY dates, then one got dropped, and now re added.

I might go. Seeing COB three times in four days? I can take it.

Listen to the interview. At 6:40 Alexi says bodom will get about 40 minutes...I was expecting a little more. 40 minutes is pretty short. I still hope they get 50-60 minutes

 

[X-sploiT]

i might have an extra ticket for may 16th in vancouver
