Germany's Avantasia - led by Edguy frontman Tobia Sammet - performed at Sweden Rock 2024 on June 8th in Sölvesborg, Sweden. During their set they were joined by Kamelot frontman Tommy Karevik for "Dying For An Angel". Check out the fan-filmed video below.

Karevik comments: "Wow... huge thanks to Tobias Sammet for bringing me in to sing with his Avantasia family at Sweden Rock Festival. Tobi is a true class act, and might I say... what a frontman and singer he is! It was an absolute pleasure. What an amazing group of warm and talented people, both on and off stage!

Also, it was super cool to once again get the chance to share the stage with my good friend, monster guitar player and Kamelot brother, Sascha Paeth. I am feeling a lot of gratitude right now."

"Dying For An Angel" is taken from Avantasia's fourth album, The Wicked Symphony, and was originally performed by Scorpions singer Klaus Meine.

We are incredibly excited about this package, all of the support bands have been on my wish list for a while now. I am sure we will have amazing memories for the fans and all the band members after this landmark tour in Europe and the UK!”

“We are excited to join Kamelot on this exciting European tour and even more so with the participation of our friends and tour mates from Blackbriar. Completed by Frozen Crown, this package promesses an epic experience for all the fans of symphonic and melodic metal who will join the party!”

Frozen Crown state: 

“We are delighted to announce we're joining Kamelot on their European tour 2024. This is a super exciting news for us, not only because of the privilege to open for one of the bands that influenced our music and lyrics. But also cause we get to share the stage with Ad Infinitum and Blackbriar as well, making this our first "full Napalm" tour after joining our new label. We can't wait to be part of this! See you guys on the road in October!”

René of Blackbriar comments: 

“We've got exciting news to share with you! We'll join Kamelot's 'Awaken The World' tour this year as a special guest alongside Ad Infinitum and Frozen Crown! This tour will take us to many new and familiar countries, and to say that we're looking forward to this feels like an understatement. Kamelot is a band we've been looking up to for so long, and we feel honored to join them on their tour. We've never had the pleasure of meeting them before, just as we never met Frozen Crown, and we can't wait to do so! We did have the pleasure of being tour buddies with Ad Infinitum last year, and we're looking forward to continuing these unforgettable times! We can't wait for these new adventures, see you on the road!”
