In the summer of 2005 Mustaine launched a traveling North American metal festival. He named it Gigantour after a favorite childhood cartoon of his, Gigantor. It would span 6 weeks and be headlined by Megadeth and co-headlined by Dream Theater, with a great variety of other supporting metal acts. Mustaine has been quoted saying that his main intention when conceiving the tour was to bring the American metal audiences an eclectic and affordable alternative to Ozzfest.
