Megadeth bassist David Ellefson has posted behind-the-scenes footage from the July 9 Gigantour stop at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
The festival, which launched last week in New Hampshire, sees Megadeth headlining the event with tourmates Black Label Society, Device, Hellyeah, Newsted and Death Division – all personally picked by Dave Mustaine.
The guitarist founded the tour in 2005 and over the years has had established artists such as Volbeat, Motorhead, Anthrax, Fear Factory and Dream Theater, as well as giving (then) up-and-coming artists Lacuna Coil, Into Eternity and Sanctity their first break on a national festival tour.
Megadeth are on the road in support of their latest album, “Super Collider,” which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 album chart last month with opening week sales of 29,000 copies.
