Grammy Award winning Swedish Rock band Ghost have elevated themselves to one of the most esteemed and celebrated rock bands in the world today. Four consecutive #1 Active Rock radio singles, debuting at #1 (Rock) + #3 (Top 200) on the Billboard album charts, accumulating well over a Billion streams, headlining arena tours (including sold out shows at The Forum in Los Angeles + Barclays Center in New York), opening stadium shows for Metallica, and gracing magazine covers and television screens the world over are just part of their story.

The band's passionate fan base and critical praise also stems from their ability to constantly be pushing their creative boundaries. Their most recent album, 2018’s Prequelle, is loosely based on The Black Plague of 14th century Europe, a metaphor that sadly became a premonition that applies to the societal ills of our times. Though the band's music at times has dark lyrical content, it never loses its infectious melodic edge. Ghost’s massively received recent single, the Active Rock #1 charting “Hunter’s Moon,” as heard over the end credits of the #1 horror smash Halloween Kills, combined with their current nationwide arena tour, as well as their much anticipated new album IMPERA are all sure indicators that 2022 will be Ghost's biggest year yet!
Not once disappointed. Seen them 5 times upcoming will be the 6th and I have never once been disappointed.

Masterful! Saw them last winter and their show was Amazing! Great crowd, great energy, great sound, loud and crystal clear, one of my favorite concerts!

Amazing music and highly entertaining. The best concert I've ever been to, Ghost absolutely controls the stage! Great interaction with the crowd, all the music played was on-point. Definitely seeing Ghost live again and again!

Ghost, Mastodon, and Spirit Box were all awesome! All 3 bands performed fantastically. I can't wait to see Ghost the next time around.

Amazing! So much fun! I had a blast and everyone there was so awesome and nice. It was my second time seeing Ghost. Didn’t think they could be better than the first time but, they definitely were! We still had an amazing time and will never miss another opportunity to see Ghost again. So freaking awesome!!!

My first time seeing Ghost live and it fulfilled all of my expectations. A great setlist, fantastic stage show with great pyros, some funny tongue-in-cheek moments as well hearing their music with a heavier sound as compared to the records. I'm a veteran of almost 40 years of seeing metal bands live, my first gig was Ozzy in 1983, and Ghost are close to the top of my list. If you like metal, catchy songs and want to be entertained from start to finish go and see Ghost live.
