The band represented the Czech Republic as the country's first entry in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007 in Helsinki, Finland.

This release helped Kabát get on Czech radio, paradoxically, with the bluegrass song "Colorado", which was originally intended only as a joke.

The album sold 50,000 copies and Kabát placed ninth in the Český slavík poll, the first time they had made it into the top ten.

A year later, the band published their first retrospective, the 2-CD compilation Suma sumárum, which was intended to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their debut album.

The first disc contained a list of their biggest hits and the second was a live recording of a concert from the previous year's Go satane go tour.

2001 saw Kabát do another national tour, as well as their first major international foray, as they travelled to the United States to perform a number of shows.

It went four-times Platinum, selling over 78,000 copies, and won the band their first Český slavík award, which they received at Prague's State Opera.

[11] In November 2008, the DVD Kabát – Corrida 2007 was released, containing a concert filmed in Prague, as well a documentary of the entire tour promoting the band's latest album.

[12] In 2009, to celebrate twenty years in the same lineup, Kabát planned their biggest open-air concert to date, one that would rival international performances.

[18] The band toured again the next year, and subsequently released a DVD documenting their performances, titled Banditi di Praga Turné 2011.

The release was certified triple-Platinum, and Kabát won their seventh Český slavík that year, as well as an Anděl for bestselling album.

The tour, titled Banditi di Praga po 30 letech, was conceived in the style of the 1930s, and the clubs where the band played were decorated accordingly.

[20] At the end of the year, Kabát finished second in the Český slavík poll, losing first place to Kryštof, and interrupting a streak of six victories.

Titled Po čertech velkej koncert II, the show was opened by Hlas Česko Slovenska 2014 winner Lenka "Lo" Hrůzová,[23] followed by Danish rock band D-A-D.[24] The performance was recorded and later released on DVD.

[28] In 2016, the rockers released the compilation album Kabát 2013–2015, which included the recording of a performance they held at Prague's O2 Arena as part of their big band tour in 2013.

[31] After receiving pressure from Kabát and other musicians, including Michal David, Mattoni, the organizer of the event, agreed to a vote recount.

[33][34] During the Prague concert, with the support of over thirty thousand fans, they saluted songster Karel Gott and congratulated him on his 80th birthday.

[35] Although Kabát was originally founded as a thrash metal band, this style lasted only until the release of their debut album, Má jí motorovou.

[36] Their lyrics originally included profanity, sexual themes, and glorification of drunkenness, but this began to change after the release of their third album, Colorado.
