See all this weekend's NYC picks

Kamelot have been making symphonic power metal since the early nineties, and Dark Asylum is their fourteenth album, a concept record set in a Neo-Victorian madhouse called RavenHill. Tommy Karevik has fronted them long enough now that the older material sounds like his too. Visions of Atlantis and Frozen Crown fill out a three-band bill, which makes this closer to a package tour than a single headline set.

What to expect

Three bands of European symphonic and power metal, with Kamelot last and playing to the theatrical staging the new concept album invites. The Palladium floor is standing, with tiered levels behind it. Doors open an hour before the first band, and with two full support sets the headline slot lands late in the evening.

Good to know

  • Visions of Atlantis and Frozen Crown both play full sets before Kamelot, so arrive early.
  • The new album is a concept record, and the staging follows its story rather than running as a greatest-hits set.
  • Palladium Times Square has a standing floor with tiered levels behind it.
  • This is one of the last dates on the North American leg, so the show is thoroughly bedded in.
  • The venue is in the Broadway theater district, where pavement crowds are heaviest around curtain time.
