Since their formation in Linköping, Sweden, in 2006, Ghost has established itself as one of the most intriguing and visually striking bands in contemporary rock. Their sound is an amalgamation of melodic hard rock, the heaviness of heavy metal, and an undeniable pop sensibility, creating anthems that resonate in arenas worldwide. The band's identity revolves around its enigmatic leader, a papal figure who has evolved through various incarnations, from Papa Emeritus I, II, III, Cardinal Copia, Papa Emeritus IV, and currently Papa V Perpetua, always accompanied by the mysterious Nameless Ghouls.
This carefully crafted stage presence, including elaborate costumes and iconography that plays with the sacred and profane, turns every concert into an immersive experience. Albums like "Opus Eponymous" (2010), "Infestissumam" (2013), "Meliora" (2015), which earned them a Grammy for "Cirice," "Prequelle" (2018), "Impera" (2022), and their most recent work "Skeletá" (2025) have cemented their success, lyrically exploring themes such as occultism, the human condition, and social satire with mordant wit. The band has undertaken massive world tours, including the current "Skeletour World Tour 2025," solidifying their status as a global phenomenon.
The influential Swedish band Ghost released their highly anticipated sixth studio album, 'Skeletá,' on March 15, 2025, marking a new chapter in their evolving musical saga. This release is the prelude to their most ambitious world tour to date, the 'Skeletour World Tour,' which will begin its global trek in April 2025.
Following the band's rich tradition of transforming its central figure, Ghost introduces Papa V Perpetua as the leader of their new era, coinciding with the 'Skeletá' album. Fans will witness the live debut of this new incarnation during the 'Skeletour World Tour 2025,' which promises a revamped theatrical production.
Ghost's 'Skeletour' in 2025 is shaping up to be a massive tour, with a North American leg kicking off July 9 in Baltimore and concluding August 16 in Houston. Subsequently, the band will take their show to Europe, with confirmed performances at legendary venues such as New York's Madison Square Garden and The O2 in London.
Aiming to create a more intimate and distraction-free concert environment, Ghost has announced that the 'Skeletour World Tour 2025' will operate under a 'phone-free experience' policy. Special Yondr pouches will be used for attendees to securely store their mobile devices during the performance.
Ghost's sixth studio album, 'Skeletá,' is described as a work of profound introspection. Comprising ten tracks, this record is the result of a creative process where Tobias Forge has sought to explore more personal and direct facets, promising a unique connection with listeners.
The overwhelming response from Ghost's followers, evidenced by rapid ticket sales for multiple 'Skeletour World Tour 2025' dates, has led the band to confirm that more cities and shows will be announced, further expanding their global reach.
Prior to announcing their new era, Ghost celebrated the success of their cinematic venture 'Rite Here Rite Now.' The film, combining live performances from their Los Angeles Kia Forum shows with narrative elements, became a milestone as North America's highest-grossing hard rock cinema event.
With nearly two decades of history, Ghost has evolved from a mysterious Linköping band to filling arenas internationally, amassing billions of streams, Grammy awards, and a legion of devoted fans, thanks to their unique artistic and musical vision.
