Arriving last month, ‘Hunter’s Moon’ was recorded by Ghost for the Halloween sequel Halloween Kills .

Speaking previously about the band’s upcoming fifth LP, Tobias Forge explained that Ghost “won’t release an album until we know that we are actually going on tour”, adding: “The album release will coincide with the start of a tour.”

He continued: “The actual recording will last around six weeks and then there’s two to three weeks of mixing and mastering. So sometime in March the record should be finished, but it won’t be released until after the summer.”

Earlier this year, Ghost covered Metallica ‘s classic single ‘Enter Sandman’ for ‘The Metallica Blacklist’ .

Ghost announce 2022 UK arena shows

As well as hitting the U.S. next year for a co-headline run with Volbeat , Ghost have announced their own Imperatour.

With support from Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats and Twin Temple , the Swedish titans will be returning to the UK for four huge arena shows next April, stopping off in Manchester, London, Glasgow, and Birmingham.

The tour will also travel through Europe; following on from their UK dates, the Euro leg will begin on April 17 in Rotterdam, and finish up just over a month later in Budapest.

The news of Ghost's live dates follows the release of their first new music in two years, Hunter's Moon , at the end of September. And while that was for the recent Halloween Kills movie (so likely not a new album?!), the band did also unveil a brand-new Papa, so fingers crossed the follow-up to 2018's Prequelle is on the way…

Ghost's full UK and European Imperatour at the following:

9 Manchester Arena 11 London O2 Arena 13 Glasgow Hydro 15 Birmingham RWA Arena 17 Rotterdam RTM Stage Ahoy 18 Paris Accor Arena 19 Cologne Lanxess Arena 21 Leipzig Quarterback Immobillen Arena 22 Frankfurt Festhalle 24 Prague Arena 27 Tampere Nokia Arena 29 Stockhom Avicii Arena 30 Oslo Spektrum

Ghost announce April 2022 UK arena tour

Seen Papa Emeritus IV and co. at four UK venues

Enigmatic Swedish metallers Ghost have announced a four-date UK arena tour for April 2022.

Ghost’s sprawling European arena tour – dubbed ‘Imperatour – Europe 2022’ – opens at Manchester AO Arena on Saturday 9th April 2022 before calling in at London The O2 Arena (Mon 11th April), Glasgow The SSE Hydro (Wed 13th April) and Birmingham RWA Arena (Fri 15th April).

Following the UK leg, Papa Emeritus IV and co. then hit mainland Europe for 19 further dates throughout April and May.

Support on all shows comes from Uncle Acid & The Dead Beats and Twin Temple.

Ghost UK arena tour tickets:

Tickets to Ghost’s UK arena tour go on sale from Planet Rock Tickets at 9am on Friday 26th November 2021.

Ghost last played the UK in November 2019 as part of their five-date A Pale Tour Named Death tour. The two-year trek opened with a show at London’s Royal Albert Hall in September 2018 and also included support slots with Metallica on their stadium tour.

Earlier this autumn, Ghost unveiled their first new song in two years, ‘Hunter’s Moon.’

Produced by Klas Åhlund and mixed by Andy Wallace, ‘Hunter’s Moon’ is lifted from the soundtrack to the Halloween sequel, Halloween Kills, which hits UK cinemas in October. The song came with a suitable macabre video:

‘Hunter’s Moon’ will get a single release on vinyl on 21st January featuring a B‑side by legendary composer John Carpenter.

In September, Ghost premiered their cover of Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ from the charity covers album ‘The Metallica Blacklist.’

Ghost’s April UK tour dates:

Manchester AO Arena – Sat 9th

London The O2 Arena – Mon 11th

Glasgow The SSE Hydro – Wed 13th

Rock stars unmasked, including ghost:, slipknot’s shawn ‘clown’ crahan unmasked.

Slipknot percussionist #6 Shawn Crahan unveiled his new silver clown mask to the world when the Iowan masked metallers premiered fearsome single 'Unsainted' in May 2019. Outside of the day job banging things with Slipknot, the unmasked Shawn Crahan is an acclaimed film director and photographer.

Slipknot’s Mick Thomson unmasked

Slipknot guitarist #7 Mick Thomson's metallic hockey mask is so perfectly formidable it has remained relatively unchanged for years. On the right is an Mick Thomson without his mask traversing the streets of New York in 2019 ahead of Slipknot's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Buckethead unmasked

The highly enigmatic guitarist, who wears a KFC bucket on his head, revealed his real identity on self-released 2013 album 'Pike 13'. It poignantly depicts a younger Buckethead – real name Brian Carroll – without his mask on and hugging his late dad.

Slipknot’s Jay Weinberg unmasked

Slipknot drummer Jay Weinberg and his proper horrorshow burlap mask. On the right is the devilishly handsome Jay Weinberg without his mask. Weinberg joined Slipknot in 2014 replacing the departing Joey Jordison, who sadly passed away in 2021.

Slipknot’s Sid Wilson unmasked

Slipknot turntablist #0 Sid Wilson's mask dramatically changed in 2019 from his more traditional skull and gas masks to an almost Palpatine -esque deformed human mask with black robes. On the right is Sid Wilson without his mask at the premiere of Slipknot: Day Of The Gusano in Beverly Hills.

Limp Bizkit’s Wes Borland unmasked and without makeup

Chameleon-like Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland is constantly coming up with brilliant new looks for the band's live shows. Fusing a mask with crudely painted make-up, this brilliantly disturbing guise is like a cross between Salvador Dali, The Joker and a demented aristocrat. Here is Wes Borland without his mask and makeup at a photoshoot in 2017.

Slipknot’s Corey Taylor unmasked

Slipknot singer #8 Corey Taylor's guise evolved into a sinister translucent mask in 2019. As the frontman of Stone Sour - and arguably the most famous member of Slipknot to boot - unless you've been living under a rock for the past two decades, you'll be well aware of what Corey Taylor looks like without his mask.

Ghost’s Tobias Forge (aka Papa Emeritus) unmasked

Flanked by his band of Nameless Ghouls, Tobias Forge has adopted a number of papal guises over the years; from the various incarnations of Papa Emeritus through to Cardinal Copia and Papa Emeritus IV. On the right is Tobias Forge without his mask at the Grammy Awards in 2019.

GWAR’s Blothar unmasked

Following the untimely death of singer Oderus Urungus (aka Dave Brockie) in 2014, GWAR recruited Blothar - aka Michael Bishop – as their new frontman who comes complete with a pigface goblin guise. On the right is Blothar without his mask and outlandish costume speaking at a TED Talk in 2015.

Slipknot’s Alessandro Venturella unmasked

Slipknot bassist Alessandro "Alex" Venturella's mask changed from a hessian fabric mask into patterned copper mask in 2019. The genial-looking chap on the right is Alessandro Venturella without his mask.

KISS’s Paul Stanley unmasked and without makeup

Alongside Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley has been a member of KISS since their inception in 1973 and his alter ego The Starchild has remained a constant all this time.

Slipknot’s Jim Root unmasked

Slipknot guitarist #4 Jim Root has worn a Jester mask for the entirety of his career with only minor changes in its design. Why change perfection?! Jim Root is immediately identifiable even without his mask thanks to his luscious, voluminous beard.

Behemoth’s Nergal unmasked and without makeup

One of the standout Main Stage acts at Download Festival 2019, Polish blackened death metallers Behemoth – led by the fearsome lead vocalist Nergal – have always adorned striking make-up on stage creating an enigmatic aura. On the right is Adam Nergal Darski without makeup at an album signing session.

Ex-Slipknot percussionist Chris Fehn unmasked

Before he exited Slipknot in somewhat acrimonious circumstances in April 2019, #3 Chris Fehn wore a distinctive Liar Mask – aka the Pinocchio Mask. On the right is the Chris Fehn without his mask at the premiere of Shawn Clown Crahan's movie 'Officer Downe' in 2016.

KISS’s Gene Simmons unmasked and without makeup

On stage and wearing his trademark makeup, Gene Simmons adopts The Demon persona.

KISS’s Eric Singer unmasked and without makeup

Following the death of the late-great Eric Carr in 1991, new drummer Eric Singer didn't adopt his The Fox persona; instead he resurrected original drummer Peter Criss' The Catman guise.

KISS’s Tommy Thayer unmasked and without makeup

Joining KISS permanently in 2002, Tommy Thayer jumped straight into Ace Frehley's platform heels and took on his The Spaceman makeup design.

Ghost Nameless Ghoul unmasked

In March 2017, a Swedish musician called Martin Persner shared a video claiming he was formerly a Nameless Ghoul in Ghost called Omega. He left the band in July 2016 after a seven-year stint.

Ghost review – rock’n’roll pyro pantomime is hellishly good fun

AO Arena, Manchester Tobias Forge’s band of ghouls just reached No 2 in the UK charts, and their symphonic metal – complete with bat wings, confetti and flamethrowers – has universal appeal

I t’s some feat bringing corpse paint to the mainstream, but Ghost have done it: the Swedes arrive for the opening night of their first UK tour in three years having seen their new album Impera reach No 2 in the charts last month.

The band’s identities were once totally secret, and although the rest remain anonymous – referred to as Nameless Ghouls, and wearing headgear that’s part steampunk, part Tom Hardy’s Bane – Ghost are a less mysterious proposition now that the theatrical Tobias Forge is known as their frontman. Not that this has had any impact on their symphonic, pop-savvy metal. What started as a doomy occult band has morphed into a blockbusting arena act, like a spooky Def Leppard without the flowing locks.

We’re two songs in and the prescient Rats already has a packed arena in raptures. Released pre-pandemic, Forge sings: “In times of turmoil, in times like these / Beliefs contagious, spreading disease.” Remove the driving guitar chugs from Spillways and in another lifetime it could be an Abba staple, such is its outrageously catchy chorus – that plinking piano opening surely a tribute to Mamma Mia from their fellow Swedes.

“Do you like a lot of oomph?” Forge enquires, before the band launch into Mummy Dust. Its zany keytar solo isn’t fooling anyone: with hulking, Metallica-esque riffs, this is Ghost’s heaviest song. On the moody Cirice, Forge slinks across the stage wearing bat wings, before funereal stomper Square Hammer inspires the most frenzied singalong of the night.

There are confetti cannon, costume changes, flamethrowers and other forms of pyro, but the band is self-aware, preventing proceedings from ever getting too cartoonish. As one of the three guitarists relishes a solo spot on From the Pinnacle to the Pit a little much for his liking, Forge playfully reprimands them with a wagging finger; this is pantomime as much as rock’n’roll.

Ghost have often delved into history for thematic fare – 2018’s Prequelle drew on the Black Death, Impera from Victorian empires – but they’ve always seemed one step ahead during their sensational, transatlantic rise. Forge has said that he’s already decided the title of Ghost’s next album; one only hopes that he’s not forgetting to take all of this in, because his band have something magnificent to offer in the present.

Satanic sermons and sax solos: inside Ghost's first post-Impera headline show

Ghost brought the party to Manchester's AO Arena. Here's what went down

Ghost at the Manchester AO Arena

On Saturday night, April 9, Ghost finally returned to the UK after two and a half years  away, officially kicking off the Impera era with a hits-stacked, pyro-filled set at the Manchester AO Arena. Bringing Satanic doo-woppers Twin Temple and fuzzy psych-rockers Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats along for the ride, the Swedes began their European tour with one hell of a bang - and the unlikely return of a familiar face. Here's what went down on a nefariously magical night in the North (and needless to say, if you're trying to avoid setlist spoilers, get the hell out of here!).

You couldn't pick a better support band for Ghost than Twin Temple

Satanic imagery and subversive lyrics dressed up in catchy rock 'n' roll and hip-shakingly camp theatrics? Why does that seem so familiar...anyway, Twin Temple have been one of the funnest and most unexpected things to explode from the metal scene in recent years, their mash-up of doo-wop and Devil-devotion striking a chord with metal fans in a big way. Unsurprisingly, and despite a few minor technical issues at the start, they evidently went over well with the Ghost faithful. Surely big things are in their future?

Just looking respectfully at statan mommy. #twintemple #ghostimpera #Manchester pic.twitter.com/7PEFISgpuA April 10, 2022

And Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats fit the bill pretty well too!

They've been on the scene a good while longer than Twin Temple, but Uncle Acid will still be a new prospect to many of the fans attending these Ghost shows, and their fuzz-driven, psychedelic rock 'n' roll is a fine fit for big venues. Sometimes, you don't need a big, flashy gimmick - big-ass tunes are enough, and the British rockers were welcomed warmly on home soil.

Ghost's stage show is huge

Pyro, confetti and, of course, some classy costume changes from Papa Emeritus IV, making his UK debut. It was all on show in Manchester, playing out across a huge, multi-tiered stage. They may attract their share of haters, but facts are facts: few modern bands in heavy metal know how to put on a massive, arena-worthy show like Ghost.

Ghost were amazing last night in Manchester! Genuinely love how they trigger the rock and metal community. Great songs, great image, amazing theatrics! Everything you want from an arena show!@thebandGHOST #ghost #ghostband #gig #tour #metal pic.twitter.com/UuATRK9mH1 April 10, 2022

There are about 200 Nameless Ghouls now

Alright, maybe we're exaggerating a little, but with each passing chapter of Ghost, more Nameless Ghouls (and Ghoulettes!) seem to join the clergy. Guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, synth players, backing vocalists...Tobias Forge has amassed a small army to fill these stages, and filled the stage they most certainly did in Manchester. Plus, after taking a little getting used to, we are very much onboard with the 'Satanic steampunk' image the Ghouls have adopted for this album cycle. 

Nameless Ghouls 2022

Kaisarion is now the official Ghost set opener of choice

After debuting it on their recent US tour with Volbeat, Ghost seem firmly set on having Impera opener Kaisarion be the official party-starter for their live shows. You can understand why: it might just be the most over-the-top, bombastic Ghost song ever. Whether it'll go down as an all-time Ghost classic like Rats and Square Hammer remains to be seen, but for now at least, it seems that Kaisarion is very much here to stay at the top of Ghost's setlists.

There are three other Impera cuts in the set

Hunter's Moon is another newie that remains in the set from the US dates, while live debuts for both Spillways and Call Me Little Sunshine round out the showings from Impera . Is four songs from the new album a somewhat meagre showing given that the tour is quite literally called 'Imperatour'? Maybe, but that's what happens when you're a band who have amassed so many absolute bangers in such a short space of time.

This is a 'modern Ghost'-heavy show

With four songs from Impera and five songs from Meliora and Prequelle each, it's clear that Ghost are prioritising their last few albums on this tour. Understandable to some extent, perhaps - as Ghost have evolved, their music has become bigger, catchier and more arena-friendly - but given the bells-and-whistles grandiosity of 2013's Infestissumam in particular, it's a little surprising to see only one song from that era, Year Zero , make the cut (although if you're only going to have one song, what a song to pick!).

Ghost have already amassed one of metal's all-time great party soundtracks

Look, we can nitpick over setlist omissions as much as we want (and on that note, Monstrance Clock is one that really feels like it should be a permanent fixture, but we digress...). The fact is, this is still a set absolutely stacked with songs designed to shake hips and, as Papa Emeritus would put it, tickle taints. Rats , Cirice , Year Zero , He Is, Ritual , Kiss The Go-Goat , Dance Macabre ...seriously, we're knackered just thinking about the amounts of shapes getting thrown through all of that. A Ghost show is a party, and it's a party with one hell of a soundtrack

Papa Nihil is alive!

Yes, you read that right. After Papa Nihil was unceremoniously 'killed off' at Ghost's final show of the Prequelle era in Mexico two years ago, it seemed like fan favourite instrumental track Miasma (on which Nihil plays a blinding saxophone solo) may be retired, having made no appearance on the recent US dates. In Manchester, however, the track made a triumphant return, including said sax solo courtesy of a resurrected Nihil, whose body was wheeled out onto the stage and given a few defibrillator shots to bring him shuddering back to life. Could this theoretically mean we might see more previous Papas return to the stage at some point? The plot thickens...

That Enter Sandman cover isn't going anywhere

Look, if you've been a heavy metal fan for more than ten minutes, you've probably already heard Enter Sandman enough times in your life to never need to hear it again, let alone played by a band that aren't Metallica. But with Ghost's cover actually being pretty damn good and, as revealed by Tobias Forge recently, raising money for trans charity organisation Camp Aranu'tiq with each play, it likely isn't going anywhere soon, and that's totally fine with us. It got an airing in Manchester as the first song of a three-track encore.

Tobias Forge may never write a better set-closer than Square Hammer

While it made for a cracking set opener after it was first released, the fact is that Square Hammer has become one of the greatest rock anthems of the modern era, and sometimes you just gotta save the best 'til last. Evidently, Tobias still agrees, and if Manchester was anything to go by, Square Hammer will continue to close out Ghost's sets for the foreseeable. Oh, and it was preceded by Dance Macabre . How's that for a crowd-pleasing one-two to finish a show? One show down. The rest of Europe to go...

Live reviews

Ghost are, regardless of whether you're particularly into corpse painted, Satanic-inspired heavy metal, one band that you should not miss live. Their concerts are not simply events to watch but experiential, jaw-dropping journeys to embark upon, and here's why: The Swedish sextet, clad in black hooded gowns and pointed beard-masks (yes, this is a thing) are led by their singer, known as Papa Emeritus, who dons full skull make-up and the robes and hat of a Roman Catholic pope (aside from the upside-down crosses adorning them). As well as their appearances, the band add to the intoxicating atmosphere of their shows with a backdrop of faux stained glass windows, and burn incense to give the audience the impression of being in a church, about to undergo something more than simply watching a group of men play musical instruments on a stage. They achieve this by including the audience in their twisted act, for example during the song Body and Blood, scantily-clad women appeared at the front of the stage offering the 'Eucharist' of a goblet of blood (aka wine) to the lucky fans in the front row.

I saw Ghost at the Fillmore Silver Spring, shorty after the release of their highly anticipated second album, Infestissumam, and was, frankly, blown away by the quality of their live show. Their appearances and Satan-worshipping act are contrasted by the liveliness of their music, which while categorized as heavy or black metal, is definitely more riff and vocal-driven than most metal, with songs such as the single Monstrance Clock and even an amped-up cover of the Beatles' Here Comes The Sun as part of their catchy, dancable set.

Even if you are the biggest metal-phobe around, you should go see Ghost. If heavy metal is your jam, but you're really not into the whole make-up/ crazy outfit thing, you should go see Ghost. If you're a fan or the music but are undecided on paying for a ticket, you should most definitely go see Ghost. The entire experience is something intoxicatingly unforgettable, and you will not regret it!

The wife and I got into the game a bit late but Ghost is as much a part of our yearly plans as is eating, sleeping, and hydrating. We were fortunate to have caught their last two rituals in Sweden last year and were able to capture video of Papa III being pulled off stage during Monstrance Clock. We were so happy that we made the trip from the states because seeing the end of Papa III in videos is nothing compared to the excitement of seeing it in person, from the barrier, and right up front. This band is very exciting to watch and being able to share the experience with my wife has made our evenings with Ghost that much better. My wife met Papa III last year and we've had the opportunity to meet Cardinal Copia 3 times this year during the meet and greets in New York and Pittsburgh. We're looking forward to meeting him again 4 more times out of the 6 rituals we'll be attending in December. We also already have our tickets and vacation planned for the 2 upcoming rituals taking place in Sweden in February 2019. When they make their way back to the states in 2019, we will begin planning our schedules around their tour dates. Here's a short back story as to why they are so important to me. My wife and I were just a couple of months away from signing the official court documents stating we were divorced. While trying to keep things amicable we would meet to discuss things and we'd often listen to Ghost. By the time they would be coming Philadelphia that year, we would have been attending as two single individuals and no longer married. We'd have fun listening to them and as that common ground grew stronger, so did we and slowly began reconciling. By the time they did come to Philadelphia that year, we attended as a happily married couple and continue to do so today. Getting my wife back, I can honestly say, is all thanks to Ghost and I couldn't be more grateful to them or happier sharing the experience with anyone else except for Kelly.

The concert at Liseberg amusement Park was amazing. They opened doors at 11:00 am and there was already like 30 people waiting for the concert impatiently. Security guards and workers of the Amusement Park were very nice and help people when there was an incident outside the park.

The concert started at 8:00 pm without any problem, the crowd went crazy when they went on stage. The setlist was the following:

- Square Hammer

- From the Pinnacle to the Pit

- Elizabeth

- Con clavi con Dio

- Per aspera ad Inferi

- Body and Blood

- Devil Church

- Year Zero

- Spokosonat

- Absolution

- Deus in Absentia

- Monstrance Clock.

At the end of the last show was when 2 bodyguards came on stage and dragged Papa Emeritus III from stage and Papa Emeritus Zero came in, anouncing that the party was over and a new era was about to start.

I only got into Ghost recently and caught their show last night in Toronto.

I decided to get some cheap tickets because I liked the music and thought they'd be fun to see live.

They by far exceeded anything I was expecting. The creepy church vibe, use of incense(which I have never encountered before, very nice touch!), Papa engaging the audience at every opportunity and even took a few minutes just to chit chat and kept us roaring and laughing for more. The use of costumes and masks was amazing.

Being an introvert I don't really go out much, and when I do I just kind of sit there and enjoy the music and the show. This is the first band that's made me get up from my chair and actually get into the show. Next time they come to the area, I'm definitely saving up and treating myself to WAY better seating!

Oh my Ghost, this is the live ritual gig experience your soul is crying out for. Full disclaimer: I love Ghost to bits and have been preaching my dark passion for years. Seeing them live again - this time in a bigger arena off the back of a couple more hit albums - reaffirms the faith.

Go and see Ghost and you will get a diverse setlist drawn from the band's spectacular back catalogue. You will get theatrics and pyrotechnics. You will get both humour and deep emotion, dark anthems and sublime instrumentals and an uplifting sense that you a witnessing something novel and special.

Ghost are - musically, aesthetically, spiritually - something to cherish and the live experience is one that is fun, compelling, cathartic and oh-so-damn-rock-n-roll. Go worship and have the time of your (after)life.

I can see Ghost every night and never get bored. It's not just the band and music, Tobias has created characters, including his own, for this band that are incredibly humble and patient with their fans. While the material can be considered risque, you will see children younger than 10 years old attending that are not only having the time of their lives, but participating in the meet and greets with their parents. Everything about these shows from the music, to the costumes, the characters, and the theatrics is so very much entertaining. We know as fans that there is so much more to look forward to with the future of Ghost and we'll have the opportunity to enjoy them for many more years. It is very exciting when tomorrow becomes today and you're standing in front eagerly awaiting Ashes to start.

If you have Ghost, you have everything.

Theatre; spectacle; a sense of cult worship; dark humour; thick fugs of incense; electric, otherwordly energy; lighting and atmospherics; collective frenzy; and most of all, the sweet music of the night.

Ghost are beautiful for so many reasons. Beneath their sublime subversive style - iconoclastic and gleefully irreverent - is a musical powerhouse making the most compelling and catchy rock in this epoch. The craftsmanship is incredible. The mystique is immense. It's a joy to behold in the flesh (and blood) and if you have the opportunity to absorb the spirit of Ghost in person, surrender to it.

Honestly, Ghost was one of the greatest entertainment experiences I've had. Join them in their ritual and hail your Master...

This was the best show I have ever been to (I have seen a lot too). Ghost put on an electric performance with great theatrics as well as fun conversational bits while the musicians took a couple minutes to get water, wipe the sweat off from under those masks, etc. We were also delighted by the pyrotechnics, fog machines, and surprise mummy dust confetti! Well executed and the band sounded amazing live. I wish I had gotten tickets for the following night too! I will definitely be seeing them when they come back into town. Ghost really knows how to stimulate all their fans' senses. Many thanks to the band for their commitment to their fans and the melodic tunes they share with us. Keep them coming please!!!

The Ghost show was truly amazing. For me, this was mainly due to two things:

1. Each and every member of this band knows his instrument very well, and they play their songs flawlessly and with ease. Leaving them energy to interact with the crowd while still not missing a note/beat.

2. Their concept is so well thought through. From the incense and small unveiling ritual before their set starts to the sisters of sin and perfected visual in set, movements and costumes, everything works brilliantly. And with Papa giving some background info to songs and rituals, you really get the feeling you are part of a well-oiled ritual.

I am very glad I've been to the show, and can't wait to see this band again :)

Awesome band! I had a older friend come with last night to the Stockholm show and even thou she said "It's not exactly my favourite but it was a terrific show,tunes to sing along to and this isn't the last time we do this!" with a huge smile on her face. This was my second Ritual, i love the costume changes, you really feel like your seeing a theatrical show instead of a regular concert, I'm use to sitting up front but this time sat in the balcony to see a spectacular light show and pyrotechnics, we sat in the upper balcony and could feel the heat from the pyro effects.I only wish i could have been yp front closer to Cardinal Copia,to get his blessings. Will not be the last time i go to see Ghost!

Ghost Book 2022 North American Tour With Mastodon + Spiritbox

Ghost are set to bring their eye-catching live show to stages across the U.S. and Canada for a late summer / early fall trek, and they've got a pretty impressive bill of support for the run scheduled as well.

The mighty Mastodon and emerging rockers Spiritbox have signed on to support Ghost on the upcoming dates, while veteran metallers Carcass will also hop on board for the tour closing show on Sept. 23 in Green Bay, Wis.

The trek officially gets underway Aug. 26 in San Diego, Calif., primarily hitting arenas along the way. Ghost will break from the run on Sept. 8 to perform as part of the massive Blue Ridge Rock Fest lineup for 2022 before resuming the run through the Sept. 23 finale.

The newly announced leg of the "Imperatour" comes as the band is supporting their most recent album, Impera . The album, released in March, features the songs "Hunter's Moon," "Call Me Little Sunshine" and "Twenties." It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart.

Get a closer look at all the cities, dates and venues below and check Ghost's website for ticketing and VIP options. Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10AM local time this Friday (May 20). There is also an American Express® Card Member pre-sale happening as of Wednesday (May 18) at 12N local time.

  • Reviews (0)

On 5th February 2022 the Fright Nights Norfolk and Suffolk team will be holding their first ever event at True's Yard in Norfolk.

This forgotten in time community in King's Lynn was a major source in the fishing industry on the east coast of England.

Steeped in history we will travel to True's Yard Museum to find out what secrets were buried by this tight knit community.

As for the hauntings you are in for a real treat! True's Yard boasts 38 ghosts!

Doors being slammed by unseen hands, a poltergeist by the name of Henry that knocks paintings off walls and blows light bulbs, the spirit of a young girl who was murdered by her father, children seen waiting for their fisherman father to return and the spirit of a man that was found hanging in the attic area of the museum and these are only some of what has been seen and add to that the disembodied voices and spirit orbs we should be in for a very active night!

  • Short guided history and hauntings tour
  • Mediumship walk round – who haunts tonight?
  • Psychic and ghost hunting equipment
  • Experiments including seances and glass divination
  • Ghost hunting vigils in the dark
  • Hot drinks and biscuits
  • Your chance to stay in a haunted location at night!

Saturday 5th February 2022 (7:00pm to 12:00am).
