SYMPHONIC POWER IN PRATTELN
The Americans Kamelot will be making their sixteenth guest appearance at our Konzertfabrik in the fall of 2026. Over the past three and a half decades, the Americans have earned a reputation as one of the most influential and innovative melodic power & symphonic metal bands in the world. On November 6, 2026, they will be coming to Z7 with their classics, a brand new studio album and guests Exit Eden and Temperance. A hot fall night is guaranteed!
In April 2025, Kamelot posted a concert photo from Z7 on their social media channels with the following text: "Switzerland!!! See you in 2026!!!" And yes, they are coming back to Z7! On November 6, Kamelot will be back with new songs and a new stage show. With their unique blend of symphonic, melodic and power metal, the US band is one of the most successful bands on the scene. Kamelot were already playing in the top league before Nightwish or Within Temptation. Founded in 1991, Kamelot grew with the Z7. What first made itself heard in Switzerland in 1998 as a curious young band became an act that was a regular in the permanent rotation on Viva and MTV and is now an integral part of the metal scene. In November 2026, the quintet will be on stage at Z7 for the sixteenth time. Over the years, the band around the last remaining founding member Thomas Youngblood has refined its sound from album to album. Almost atypically American, the band presents itself with European songs that are given a bombastic touch with opulent orchestral parts. Kamelot occupy a very special position in the world of hard rock: their refined melodic metal has always been remarkably adept at opening itself up to related styles, integrating progressive elements as well as cross-references to doom/gothic metal or classical music, thereby establishing a genre of its own. Two years after their last Z7 show, Kamelot are coming to Pratteln with new songs, a new stage show and a great line-up to celebrate their 35th birthday with their fans.
