Gigantour review with Megadeth, Children of Bobomm, In Flames photos

This year’s edition of the Gigantour may have been the third instalment of this massive line-up featuring Megadeth but it was the very first time it stopped in Quebec City. Around 5000 screaming fans filled the sold-out venue as both High on Fire and Job for a Cowboy were playing their first gig ever in the capital. Already loved by many, Children of Bodom followed with a set of crushing anthems and they didn’t look like they were about to slow down with such songs as Hate Me!, Hellhounds on my Trail and Downfall. Next was In Flames, playing a set of recent live successes along with the venomous Graveland, off the Jester Race album. Of course, the evening ended with a much anticipated performance by thrash masters Megadeth. If there ever was a time to see this band live, now is the time because their live shows are tight and so colourful. Even if they played a similar setlist comparing it to the rest of the tour, they did thrown in A Tout le Monde especially for the French Canadian crowd. All in all, a very successful night with high class performances by all bands!
