Papa Emeritus IV is coming to an amphitheater near you. Ghost , the Swedish hard-rock band led by the man of a thousand faces, Tobias Forge, has announced a U.S. summer tour .

Titled the Re-Imperatour U.S.A. 2023, the trek begins August 2nd in Concord, California, and plays 27 dates, wrapping up September 11th in Los Angeles. Along the way, the tour hits cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, Tampa, Austin, and Phoenix. Fellow Swedish metalheads Amon Amarth open all dates except the L.A. closer.

Ghost released their latest album, Impera , last year, a record that rails against bloated nations, empty leaders, and the glorification of stupidity. “We now have mechanisms within our own Western empire who are actively trying to, and to some degree have, created this time machine where we’re regressing,” Forge told Rolling Stone . “We’re flattening the earth. We’re submitting to stupidity, which is fucking unbelievable.”

They also released a new version of the Impera track “Spillways” featuring Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott.

Ghost Brings US Tour to Emphatic End in LA: Pictures, Set List

Ghost closed out their Re-Imperator tour with a rousing performance at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles last night (Sept. 12).

The concert was the second of two back-to-back sold out LA shows for the Swedish heavy metal giants.

The first song of the night was "Kaisarion," the epic track from Ghost’s 2022 album Impera . Other early highlights included a soaring rendition of “Spillways” and the menacing "Cirice.”

Later, singer Tobias Forge – who was a commanding presence all night as his alter-ego, Cardinal Copia – appeared at a grand piano to perform a haunting rendition of Roky Erickson ’s "If You Have Ghosts."

As to be expected, “Mary on a Cross,” the hugely successful 2019 track that unexpectedly went viral on Tik Tok, garnered some of the night’s loudest cheers.

See the full set list from Ghost’s tour-closing performance below.

Ghost's Show Boasted Incredible Visuals

As fans of Ghost know, the music is just one element of the band's appeal. Stage design, pyrotechnics, theatrics and outfit changes are all part of what makes Ghost such an enthralling live act, and each of these ingredients were on full display during the tour-end show.

On the night, Forge made no less than eight costume changes, including several colorful and dazzling displays. Meanwhile, massive stained glass windows hung behind the stage, exuding an imposing, gothic quality.

At various points in the concert, a troupe of skeleton dancers writhed provocatively around Forge. There was also plenty of pyro, with flamethrowers, fireworks and explosions throughout the set.

See some of the impressive visuals from Ghost’s performance in our gallery below.

Ghost, 9/12/23, The Forum, Los Angeles 1. "Kaisarion" 2. "Rats" 3. "Faith" 4. "Spillways" 5. "Cirice" 6. "Absolution" 7. "Ritual" 8. "Call Me Little Sunshine" 9. "Con Clavi Con Dio" 10.

Ghost announce US tour dates

Ghost have announced 13 tour dates across North America in May

Ghost have announced a string of tour dates across the United States in May.

The dates appeared on the band’s official Facebook Page , not long after the band blanked out all imagery on their social media accounts.

Last month, the band started to tease the introduction of a new Papa Emeritus in a Facebook video. In the clip, the recently revealed Papa Zero can be heard saying “I’m going to fucking wipe the floor with this guy. Not bad, but not good either. Pure shame.”

There has been no word as yet on who or what the new Papa is, but the below image has surfaced on the Instagram of Ghost fansite Children Of Ghost, suggesting a new look for the frontman.

Metal Hammer recently went into the studio with Ghost as they worked on their upcoming fourth album, where they told us the new album is “a very bright sounding record” and “a very heavy record… but not from a Metal Hammer point of view, meaning all metal through-and-through. But it’s a heavy record with a heavy theme. I think the overall ambience is very serious.”

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 Announces Fall 2019 North American Dates, The ‘Ultimate Tour Named Death’

Grammy Nominated Rockers Nothing More to Provide Support

With “Dance Macabre” becoming the band’s third #1 single at rock radio, Grammy award-winning artist Ghost announces a six-week North American headline tour that will see the Swedish rock band’s elaborate rock theatre presentation metamorphose into a full-on arena production.  Produced by Live Nation and billed as the “Ultimate Tour Named Death,” the outing is due to kick off Friday, September 13 in at the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, CA, following Ghost’s special guest summer slot on Metallica’s 25-date “WorldWide” European Stadium Tour.  A series of ticket presales begin tomorrow, April 2 at 10AM local time. Most tickets for the “Ultimate Tour Named Death” go on sale to the general public beginning this Friday, April 5 at 10AM local time.  Log on to  http://ghost-official.com  for all pre-sales, VIP packages and ticketing details.  Confirmed dates are below.

San Antonio’s three-time Grammy-nominated alt/rock band Nothing More, who earned three Top 10 singles from their most recent album  The Stories We Tell Ourselves , will provide support for the tour.*

Ghost’s widely acclaimed live performances are known for raising an ungodly ruckus, and that will only be amplified as the band brings its stage production to arenas.  Cardinal Copia and the seven Nameless Ghouls will perform for more than two hours on a striking stage set resembling a medieval cathedral with a backdrop of illuminated stained-glass windows that pay tribute to the three now-departed Papas.  In addition to rich costumes, special effects, and a spectacular light show tailored-made for arenas, the Cardinal and the band will take advantage of a series of multi-level platforms and walkways to prowl around on while performing some of Ghost’s fan-favorite songs from the band’s albums and EPs catalogues.  The set list will include favorites “Square Hammer,” “Cirice,” “Ashes,” “He Is,” “Year Zero,” “Rats,” “Mummy Dust,” “Life Eternal,” “Dance Macabre,” and many more.

Twenty-eighteen proved to be a transformative year for Ghost.  The band’s album  Prequelle  debuted at #3 on  Billboard’s  200 chart, was named  Revolver’s  #1 Album of the Year, earned a Grammy nomination in the category of “Best Rock Album,” and accumulated 400,000 album sales and 200-million streams since its June release.   Prequelle’s  first radio single, “Rats,” held the #1 spot on the  Billboard  Mainstream Rock Songs chart for a record-setting eight consecutive weeks and received a “Best Rock Song” Grammy nomination, and the most recent radio track, “Dance Macabre,” became the band’s third #1 song at rock radio, a position it held for three weeks.  In addition,  Loudwire  named Ghost its “Artist of the Year.”

With more dates to be announced, the confirmed itinerary for the “Ultimate Tour Named Death” is as follows.

ABOUT GHOST

The Swedish-born Tobias Forge, who has been referred to as “the Andrew Lloyd Webber of rock,” is Ghost’s creative force, singer, songwriter, musician, and architect of the elaborate storylines that are woven through the band’s four full-length studio albums, EPs, music videos, webisodes, and live shows, all of which advance the Ghost storyline.  Forge grew up listening to a wide array of 70s and 80s rock – Alice Cooper, Journey, Kansas, Boston, Black Sabbath, Jefferson Starship, Iron Maiden, and Foreigner.  He’s a hardcore music junkie; at home in Sweden, he has a most impressive collection of vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and VHS tapes, and when on tour, he regularly arranges for visits to local record haunts and ships back even more treasures.  He plays guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and kazoo.  Ghost’s current album,  Prequelle,  is loosely based on The Black Plague of 14th century Europe, a metaphor Forge hopes will apply to the societal ills of today.  

Ghost’s music began as being much heavier, harder and “more metal,” but over the band’s recent history, their songs have evolved to embrace a catchier, rock/pop sound.  Five of the band’s songs have hit  Billboard’s  Top 5 Rock chart – “Cirice” claimed the #4 spot in 2015, “From The Pinnacle to the Pit” went to #5 in 2016, and “Square Hammer” (2017), “Rats” (2018), and “Dance Macabre” (2018) all held the #1 spot on the  Billboard  Mainstream Rock Songs chart and on the Mediabase Active Rock chart.  Ghost’s music retains its rock edge as well as its dark lyrical themes like The Black Plague, the Antichrist, the Inquisition, avarice, and the Apocalypse.  Ghost has received two Grammy nominations: “Best Metal Performance” in 2016 for “Rats,” which they won, and “Best Rock Album” in 2019.

Ghost + Volbeat’s 2022 U.S. Tour to Kick Off Next Week

The countdown is on, as we're down to one week away from the start of one of 2022's most anticipated tours. Ghost and Volbeat will be co-headlining a U.S. tour that kicks off Jan. 25 in Reno, Nevada and continues through a March 3 finale in Anaheim, California. All dates, cities and venues can be seen at the bottom of this post.

As if that weren't enough, the 26-date run will also include a can't miss opening set from special guests Twin Temple . Tickets for the tour are currently available at this location .

“We are so incredibly excited to get back to these cities with a Volbeat headline show, but getting to do it alongside a headline show from our ghoulish friends in Ghost AND bringing the incomparable Twin Temple with us? How soon will it be January already!? Start getting ready, the thunder and lightning is coming to your town in 2022,” offered Volbeat in a statement at the time of the tour's initial announcement.

Both bands are already off to a hot start in 2022, as Volbeat's " Shotgun Blues " has climbed to No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock and Mediabase's Active Rock charts, while Ghost's " Hunter's Moon " has held the No. 2 spot on both charts. Volbeat's latest chart-topper, their tenth overall, has given the band a Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart record for the most No. 1 songs by an artist based outside of North America.

The two bands are also further whetting the collective appetites of their fanbases by teaming up on for a special limited-edition Double A-Side 7" that ties their respective covers for Metallica 's Blacklist charity album. For that release last year, Ghost took on Metallica's " Enter Sandman " and Volbeat put their stamp on " Don't Tread on Me ." The 7” will be pressed on crystal clear vinyl and limited to only 3,000 units with 115 copies available at each tour stop on a first come, first served basis. All proceeds from sales will be split between Metallica's All Within My Hands Foundation, Ghost's Camp Aranu'tia charitable choice and Volbeat's Børne Cancer Fonden charity designation.

The tour comes with Volbeat promoting the newly released  Servant of the Mind album, while Ghost are currently working up a new full-length record that's expected later this year. Be sure to catch Ghost, Volbeat and their support act Twin Temple starting next week. Tickets are available here .

Moby Reveals He Once Tried To Start A Metal Supergroup.

Electronic music star  Moby  has just shared an interesting tidbit with fans not just of his music but of hard rock as well. The music star once wanted to form a supergroup with a wide range of stars, including  Tommy Lee  of  Mötley Crüe  and  Pantera ’s  Dimebag Darrell  and  Vinnie Paul .

“This was a late-night, alcohol-fueled idea between (Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul, Tommy Lee, and I,” admitted the now-sober Moby. “I regret not starting this chaotic metal band, which would have sounded like a cross between Pantera and my old punk group  Flipper .”

But Moby also reveals it wasn’t his only attempt at forming a metal supergroup. He also admits to enlisting  Björk  for a new duo, which didn’t really go over well. “She was very polite,” said Moby. “But she had no idea what I was talking about!”

After Rihanna's Halftime performance, Metallica posted a clip from a 2017 episode of  "Carpool Karaoke"  where they sang  "Diamonds"  will Billy Eichner.

Post Malone Couldn't Get Into a Bar Because of His Face Tattoos 

Post Malone  is one of the biggest celebrities on the planet right now. But his famous face worked against him recently . . . because of the INK that's all over it.

Malone wanted to check out a popular rooftop bar at the QT Hotel in Perth, Australia, but they wouldn't let him in. It seems they have a dress code that prohibits "face, neck, and offensive tattoos."

And they don't care if you're Post Malone. He says, quote, "They turned me away for my tattoos. I've never really experienced anything like that."

He ended up at another bar, where he bought drinks for everybody.
