Roy Khan Reunites with Kamelot for Full Album and Tour: A Dream Come True for Fans
In a monumental announcement that has sent waves of excitement through the metal world, Kamelot has officially confirmed that former vocalist Roy Khan will reunite with the band for a brand-new studio album and a world tour in 2026. This marks the first full collaboration between Khan and Kamelot since his departure in 2011, making it a historic moment for both longtime fans and the symphonic metal scene at large.
The announcement was made during the 20th-anniversary celebrations of The Black Halo in São Paulo, Brazil, where Khan joined the band on stage for a surprise performance of fan-favorite classics like “March of Mephisto” and “The Haunting (Somewhere in Time).” The overwhelming fan response, both in the arena and online, appears to have played a major role in solidifying this long-hoped-for reunion.
The upcoming album, currently untitled, is set to begin recording in late 2025 with a tentative release window in summer 2026. Guitarist and founding member Thomas Youngblood expressed his excitement, calling the project “a return to the heart and soul of Kamelot.” Roy Khan also shared his enthusiasm: “It feels like coming home. We have so much left to say musically.”
In addition to the new album, Kamelot will embark on a global tour, with dates spanning North America, Europe, and South America. The setlist promises a blend of new material and beloved tracks from the Khan era, making it an unmissable event for diehard fans.
For many, this reunion represents the culmination of over a decade of hope, nostalgia, and passion. As one fan put it: “This isn’t just a tour—it’s the return of a legend.”
Get ready, Kamelot Nation—the kings are back.
