^They're aright.
All of those are possibilities actually. As far as I've understood from the Gigantour forums, Mike said in an interview that Opeth is definitely on Gigantour, as did Michael Amott from Arch Enemy. Anthrax has said they'd like to. (Though didn't say for sure, like Arch Enemy and Opeth.) Overkill left a comment on someone's myspace saying "Gigantour is a go." (It was quickly deleted afterward.) I don't know exactly about the rumors surrounding Sevendust, but I think they're a strong possibility too. Gary Holt of Exodus mentioned that from September to October, they're busy doing U.S. stuff that they're sworn to secrecy about (Shawn Drover subsequently said Exodus isn't on it, but I don't believe it, otherwise Dave would have said it. Probably just want to still try to surprise people.) 3 Inches of Blood I could see being on it, except that they've done a whole bunch of U.S. tours thus far, and I haven't heard anything about them being a possibility. Same with In Flames - I think they're doing Sounds of the Underground now, even though it's over before September, would they do Gigantour right afterward?
Altogether, it's possible that thing is fake, just as possible that it's a leak. Hopefully a leak, because I like all the bands on that except Sevendust, and would be ecstatic to see everyone besides Megadeth (last year's Gigantour) and Overkill (don't particularly love).

If that was the line-up, I'd be there in no time.
Megadeth, Opeth, Exodus, and Anthrax!
plus in flames, 3 inches of blood, and overkill!

i don't think that's real, because i heard in flames is playing sounds of the underground this year. coolsnow7, where is this interview with mikael confirming the opeth appearance on gigantour?

interesting...it would be nice if its real because Anthrax, Exodus and Overkill being on the same bill would be damn killer!

I think the tour Exodus was talking about is the tour w/ Hatebreed and Napalm Death..which is happening in the fall (I think).
Dave did say that one of the bands has an album with a flower on the cover...wonder who that could be!

Looks good, but aren't Opeth busy this summer with European festivals? Unless it's in the autumn? :S

Opeth will play at Gigantour, hasn't that been officially announced already? Their management contacted me about it and Peter talked about the tour when we interviewed him two weeks ago.
