Florida-based Kamelot recently checked in with the following update on their tour plans for 2015:

"We are pleased to announce we are returning to North America in 2015, in support of the new album due for release in March 2015. The band is busy in the studio now and cannot wait to return to the USA and Canada for their biggest North American stage setup ever. Special guests on this tour will be Dragonforce from the UK. This is will be a Symphonic Power Metal Extravaganza!"

DragonForce guitarist Herman Li has since issued the following statement on the upcoming tour:

“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!!”
