Symphonic metallers KAMELOT have announced a year of touring for 2026 — unveiling details on two headline tours (collectively dubbed the “Dark Asylum World Tour” and hitting both North America and Europe) and the two-night special event, KamFest.

Kicking things off, KAMELOT will headline a North American tour, beginning August 28 in Orlando, Florida and hitting a month of dates before ending in Silver Spring, Maryland 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 10:00 a.m ET.

Next, the band will head out on a European headline tour, featuring very special guests EXIT EDEN and support artist TEMPERANCE. The tour will deliver KAMELOT‘s trademark brand of cinematic, top-charting melodic metal to 18 venues across Europe, culminating on November 22 in Madrid. 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 October 31, 2026 at O13 in Tilburg, The Netherlands, where KAMELOT will be joined by XANDRIALEAVES’ EYES and ELEGY on night one, and BLACKBRIAREXIT EDEN and TEMPERANCE on night two. Additional production elements and setlist details will be announced at a later date, and ticketing information and VIP packages for KamFest will be released shortly via official KAMELOT channels.

KAMELOT founder Thomas Youngblood states: “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!”
