Ghost

Ghost continues to elevate and reaffirm its status as one of the world’s most esteemed and celebrated creative forces. Accumulating well over a billion streams, the Grammy-winning Swedish theatrical rock band continues to bring the “euphoric spectacle” (ROLLING STONE) of its live shows to ever-growing and increasingly impassioned crowds, headlining arena tours including sold out shows from The Forum in Los Angeles and Barclays Center in New York to London’s O2 Arena and Stockholm’s Avicii Arena. 

In March 2022, The Los Angeles Times reported in a Calendar cover story that Ghost had “conquered metal and the charts” when its fifth album "Impera" debuted at #1 in a sweep of the U.S. album charts, entering the Billboard 200 at #2 and bowing at #1 in the band’s native Sweden as well as Germany and Finland, while cracking the top 5 in the UK (#2), Netherlands (#2), Belgium (#2), Canada (#3), Australia (#3), France (#5), Ireland (#5), and more.

Produced by Klas Åhlund and mixed by Andy Wallace — and featuring “Spillways”, the Grammy-nominated “Call Me Little Sunshine,”and Active Rock #1 radio single “Hunter’s Moon” — "Impera" finds Ghost transported centuries forward from the Black Plague era of its previous album, 2018 Best Rock Album Grammy nominee "Prequelle." The result is the most ambitious and lyrically incisive entry in the Ghost canon: "Impera"’s 12-song cycle is the most current and topical Ghost subject matter to date is set against a hypnotic and darkly colorful melodic backdrop making it a listen like no other — yet unmistakably, quintessentially Ghost.

Ghost has also revealed details of its upcoming "RE-IMPERATOUR" U.S. 2023 summer tour with special guest Amon Amarth. The 27-date tour kicks off on Wednesday, August 2nd in Concord, CA at Concord Pavilion, with stops in Salt Lake City, Chicago, Cincinnati, Austin and more, before wrapping up with the band’s Monday, September 11th return to the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
