The Intro from the Show in Pratteln (CH) from Stratovarios must be the unofficial Hymn of the United Kingdom, Land of Hope and Glory. You find a mp3 Version (Classic) on

The song you linked is similar, so it must be that.

In Kaufbeuren they used Elgars "Pomp & Circumstances", just as on the Elements-Tour two years ago.

Those two songs are very similar. Aren't they the same?

The two songs are the same.
Sir Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1," the finale of a work composed to mark the 1902 coronation of British King Edward VII is the traditional choice for commencement ceremonies. It's easy to see why. It has a catchy melody, yet is serious and somber enough to mark an important day. It's got lots of pomp. It's the circumstance that bothers me.
The march - and words by A.C. Benson - became a popular patriotic number, often sung as a hymn, "Land of Hope and Glory." It's one of those classic tributes to the era when Britannia ruled the waves - and, according to the chorus, was divinely ordained and destined to expand:
