Ex-KAMELOT Singer ROY KHAN To Perform Entire 'One Cold Winter's Night' Album At Special Oslo Concert
Архив новостей | Русская версия
Former KAMELOT and current CONCEPTION vocalist Roy Khan will stage a unique and deeply personal event in Oslo, Norway this fall.
On November 27, at Rockefeller Music Hall, Khan will present KAMELOT's "One Cold Winter's Night", performed in its entirety, marking 20 years since the recording of one of the most revered live albums in symphonic power metal history.
Originally recorded in Oslo in 2006, "One Cold Winter's Night" captured a defining moment not only in Khan's career, but in the genre as a whole. The album has since become a reference point for live performance, emotional depth, and musical craftsmanship.
Now, two decades later, Khan returns to the city where it was recorded to honor that moment — not as an act of nostalgia, but as a sincere reflection on legacy, artistry, and belonging.
The performance will feature the complete original setlist, alongside special guest appearances and full production, carefully created exclusively for this night. This is a one night only special event.
Khan comments: "Coming back home to Oslo to perform 'One Cold Winter's Night' in full is something I never imagined I would do again.
"This particular show represents a very special moment in my life, both artistically and personally. To stand on that stage again, here at home, fills me with gratitude and pride. This is not about recreating the past, but about honoring it in an honest and meaningful way.
"I know that what will happen this night will be unique. If you come to share the experience with me, you will witness something truly special."
Earlier this month, Roy announced that he was working on his first solo album, expanding on a project first revealed in late 2024. The LP represents a new creative chapter in the Norwegian singer's career and follows a period of renewed live activity and closer engagement with his audience.
In a recent Instagram post, Khan shared a moment from the writing process, stating: "Writing down the first three lines of the first song finished for my first solo album…"
Khan's solo album is being produced by Sascha Paeth, a producer, composer and musician with a long-standing career in European metal. Paeth is widely recognized for his fundamental role in shaping the sound of classic KAMELOT albums such as "The Fourth Legacy", "Karma", "Epica" and "The Black Halo", as well as for his work with acts like AVANTASIA, EPICA and ANGRA. His signature blend of heaviness, refinement and cinematic atmosphere aligns closely with the artistic identity Khan has developed throughout his career.
Alongside Paeth, the album is also being co-produced by Caio Kehyayan (FIREWING) and Adrienne Cowan (SEVEN SPIRES),both of whom have been deeply involved in the songwriting process. Additional songwriting contributions come from Bill Hudson, best known for his work with TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, I AM MORBID and CIRCLE II CIRCLE. Multiple collaborative sessions have helped define the core musical direction and early structure of the album, highlighting an active and collaborative pre-production phase.
Still untitled and without a confirmed release date, the solo album promises to explore new territory within Khan's musical universe, balancing a distinct personal identity with the experience accumulated through his work with KAMELOT and CONCEPTION. Further details regarding recordings, guest musicians and upcoming steps will be announced as the project moves forward.
In parallel with the studio work, Khan remains active on stage. He has a confirmed appearance at the Bangers Open Air on April 26, 2026, in São Paulo, and will also appear as a special guest with SEVEN SPIRES at the festival's official pre-party on April 24 at Audio.
Last July, Khan took the stage at Tokio Marine Hall in São Paulo, Brazil for a one-night-only performance celebrating the 20th anniversary of KAMELOT's "The Black Halo" album.
