Progressive symphonic metal innovators and enduring icons Kamelot have unveiled extensive international touring plans for 2026, including two major headline runs—collectively titled the Dark Asylum World Tour—spanning North America and Europe, as well as a special two‑night event, KamFest.
The North American leg begins on 28 August in Orlando, Florida, launching a month-long tour that concludes on 27 September in Silver Spring, Maryland. Each show will feature Visions Of Atlantis as very special guests, with Frozen Crown opening the evening.
The band will then embark on a European headline tour, joined by very special guests Exit Eden and support act Temperance. The run will bring Kamelot's signature cinematic, chart‑topping melodic metal to 18 venues across Europe, culminating on 22 November in Madrid.
The European tour will open with KamFest, a unique two‑night concert experience presenting distinct line‑ups on consecutive evenings and showcasing both established and rising artists from across the symphonic and melodic metal scene. KamFest will take place on 30 and 31 October at O13 in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Night one features Kamelot, Xandria, Leaves' Eyes, and Elegy; night two brings Kamelot, Blackbriar, Exit Eden, and Temperance. Further production details and setlist information will be announced in due course, with ticketing and VIP packages to follow via Kamelot's official channels.
For ongoing updates, please refer to the band's official platforms and venue announcements.
Kamelot founder Thomas Youngblood comments: "As we embark on a new chapter, we can't wait to bring the next evolution of Kamelot to life on stage. Expect a night where symphonic power and dark grandeur collide. This will be a tour like no other!" Link
