KAMELOT Returns To New York City For One Night Only; SONATA ARCTICA, BATTLE BEAST To Support (Video Trailer)
September 7, 2018, 6 years ago
After an epic sold out show earlier this year at the historic Irving Plaza, the demand for another New York City event was immediate. Kamelot chose the venue Terminal 5 for the next appearance, along with bringing in some heavy hitters in the symphonic and metal scene. Special guests Sonata Arctica and openers Battle Beast have been added to the lineup to make the night one not to be missed.
The show is scheduled for Saturday, September 14th, 2019. Get tickets here.
"We are very excited to return to New York City and bring our larger stage show to the fans there. We have had a very close relationship with our NYC family and it’s only going to get bigger with this very special event." states Kamelot's founder and guitarist Thomas Youngblood.
Watch a trailer below:
Following the first leg of a massive World Tour in North America during April and May, it is now time kick off the next leg and bring The Shadow Theory overseas. Kamelot is returning to Europe for their biggest headliner tour to date. Special guests on the tour include Leaves' Eyes, Visions Of Atlantis, Dynazty (Sweden), Circus Maximus (Oslo) vocalist Lauren Hart (Once Human) and more.
Just in time for the upcoming tour, the band has released a brand new music video for the track "MindFall Remedy". The live footage is taken from Kamelot's North American tour and just offers a glimpse of what you can expect when the band takes the stage.
"The North American Tour was our biggest ever and we had to chronicle it in some way, the fans were so amazing. We decided to shoot this video and mix in scenes from the tour. We cannot wait to return to the US and Canada for the next run!," states Thomas Youngblood.
The meaning of the song and title "MindFall Remedy" sparks some debate, but singer Tommy Kaverik sums it up beautifully: "In this material world, full of vanity and beautifying filters, it is easy to turn to those things when looking for validation and comfort. We have come to expect external gratification to lift us up, solve our insecurities and give us a meaningful existence. With this song we want to encourage people to look inside themselves for answers. Only then can we fully learn to respect and love ourselves and grow as people. There is a way to unlock your inhibitions, and only you possess the key..."
