Well, hold onto your top hats and monocles, folks! The internationally acclaimed Swedish rock band Ghost—you know, the band that wears more costumes than a daytime talk show host—has dropped the bombshell we’ve all been waiting for. Yes, the band has announced their upcoming world tour via a snazzy video on social media, which presumably features more smoke and mirrors than a magician’s act!
This tour is set to kick off on April 15, 2025, in the lovely Manchester, UK. And let’s be honest, if you can survive the weather there, you can survive anything. Now, remember to pack your raincoat because this tour will take you through Europe, the US, and even Mexico! Apparently, ghosts are very multicultural.
But wait—there’s more! The band will bless their homeland with not one, but two gigs! That’s right, folks! On May 22 and 23, they’ll be rocking out in Linköping and Sandviken. It seems even ghosts need a little home cooking now and then, and we all know Sweden has the meatballs to back it up!
The grand finale will drop the curtain on September 24 in Mexico City. It’s a fitting end, really. What better place for a band that revels in dark theatrics to finish than in a city known for its vibrant culture and energetic nightlife? Just a suggestion, but let’s hope they don’t get too carried away and end up haunting the nachos!
Mark your calendars, friends! Tickets go on sale on Friday, 1 November, at 10:00 a.m., and you can grab them via LiveNation.se. Be sure to set your alarms, as I’m pretty sure they’ll sell out faster than you can say “Papa Emeritus!” And remember, getting a ticket to see Ghost live is kind of like getting invited to a royal wedding; it’s an honor, and you might just leave with a peculiar story to tell!
So, dust off your black attire, practice your best air guitar, and get ready to embrace the spirit of rock and roll with Ghost! Don’t forget—”I listen with as clean ears as possible,” said the band in an interview, which pretty much translates to “We can’t hear you over our epic riffs!”
E fans through some of the most exciting cities around the globe, culminating with a spectacular finale on October 31, 2025, in their home country of Sweden. Joining us today is Tobias Forge, the mastermind behind the band’s unique blend of theatrical rock and enigmatic stage presence.
