UK metalcore act BRING ME THE HORIZON have been added to the following three dates on Australia's Gigantour featuring MEGADETH, STATIC-X, DEVILDRIVER and LACUNA COIL:

November
13 - Melbourne, Australia - Festival Hall
15 - Sydney, Australia - Luna Park Big Top
18 - Brisbane, Australia - Riverstage


Vocalist Oli Sykes commented about the dates: "We can't wait to get out to the Australia. We've done loads of touring this year, going to new places and meeting new people and it's been great. I actually used to live in Australia, but haven't been back for years. To be able to return to tour with Megadeth is a dream come true."

Bring Me The Horizon's debut album, Count Your Blessings, was released in North America on August 14 via Earache Records.

As if it wasn't bad enough that this was all ages and at Riverstage, now they give 15yo emo skinny-jeans douchebags even more reason to turn up.

The things one will do to see Devildriver...

Funny. By definition emo culture doesn't exist.
There pop culture kids trying to fit in with the hardcore scene.
Cock, d***, wang, all in the dictionary but emo isn't...
Can't wait to see Bring Me The Horizon all the same.

WTF are they thinking. I don't mind BMTH, I would go to a show if they were headlining. I'll probably go to this to see Megadeth, been waiting for years. But argh, I can see the drama now. There is going to be a whole lot of emo casualties after this. How on earth do BMTH fit into this lineup? The crowd is going to be just terrible, haha.

who cares if bring me the horizon is "scene"
if someone likes them, like me, let them listen to it.
if they like bring me the horizon and lets say deicide then what does it matter?
its music, who cares about who listens to what, i cant stand when people call a band emo f***ers because they dont like the band or that they wear tight clothes.
all i got to say to you is f*** YOU.

Don't you guys get sick of arguing the same thing in every thread? f***ing hell it's groundhog day at Metal Underground. I mean the arguments the same which is fine but christ - Some one bring up a new point! Every day it's "This band is gay and or emo" followed by the ever popular "Wtf I love Killswitch Engage so I know what metal is and you don't fag" or "Why don't you leave the thread if you just come to hate a band blah blah". Well except replace the grammar with sexuality related insults.
