UK-speedsters Dragonforce recently performed at Luxembourg's Kulturfabrik in Esch together with Epica and Dagoba. Luca Menichetti at Stay Tuned Interviews caught up with bassist Frédéric Leclercq (third from left) to chat about the long path of the band, touring, and writer's block: 

DragonForce guitarist Herman Li recently issued the following statement on the band's upcoming 2015 tour supporting Kamelot:

“It’s always a problem where to start a World Tour and as we started the last touring cycle in North America we started this one in the UK, but there was another factor, we wanted to go out touring in North America with a superb band, so when the call came from Kamelot for us to join them on their tour we didn’t hesitate! This will be a fantastic tour and a fantastic evening for the fans…… see you all there!!!”

Kamelot guitarist Thomas Youngblood comments:

“At a recent NAMM Convention, I ran into Sam and Herman from DragonForce and we joked a bit about touring together. So when the idea came up again we thought it would be a great package for the fans. They are power metal and we have power metal with symphonic elements. Different enough but also some cross over musical elements. I expect it to be a fun tour for all!!”
