Kicking things off, KAMELOT will headline a North American tour of epic proportions, beginning August 28 in Orlando, FL and hitting a month of dates before ending in Silver Spring, MD on September 27. Each night will feature very special guests VISIONS OF ATLANTIS as direct support, with FROZEN CROWN opening each show. Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 27 at 10:00am ET.

European headline tour tickets are available for purchase now.

The European tour is set to launch with KamFest - a unique concert experience featuring two distinct lineups across consecutive evenings, showcasing performances from both established and emerging artists from across the symphonic and melodic metal spectrum! KamFest will take place on October 30 and 31, 2026 at O13 in Tilburg, The Netherlands, where KAMELOT will be joined by XANDRIA, LEAVES' EYES and ELEGY on night one, and BLACKBRIAR, EXIT EDEN and TEMPERANCE on night two.
