"North America ROCKED!! Now home after the last show of the Haven North American Tour 2015 Part 1. It was a cinematic, epic wonderment of a tour! Some of our biggest Kamelot Nation crowds ever and such a great welcome in every city, wow. Also great to play some new songs from the Haven and get such an amazing reaction already. Thank you for rocking with us every night!
