The Skeletour World Tour has featured the live debut of songs from “Skeletá,” GHOST’s sixth psalm and first to reach number one on the Billboard 200. Released on April 25 via Loma Vista Recordings, “Skeletá’s,” number-one debut marked the first time a hard rock album topped the US album chart since 2020 — and also saw number-one debuts in the GRAMMY®-winning theatrical rock outfit’s native Sweden as well as Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Finland. “Skeletá” was heralded by three singles/videos that trended the Top 10 on YouTube, as GHOST earned number-one spots on TikTok’s #NewMusic, iTunes and Amazon’s Best Sellers. First up was “Satanized,” dubbed a “catchy goth-rock epic” by VICE, followed by “Lachryma,” a fixture on Spotify’s Viral charts, both globally and in key territories like the US, UK, Germany and more. The single was deemed “economical, vicious, and contemporary, but tinged by ‘80s rhapsody,” by Paste and “phantasmagoric” by Revolver and “Peacefield,” a hopeful metal anthem and a positive eighties-style pop-metal song opening the new record and set in motion GHOST’s massive 2025 live rituals.
Having sold half a million tickets and counting, the Skeletour World Tour continues a North American swing that included GHOST’s historic first-ever sold-out headlining show at New York’s Madison Square Garden on July 22. With GHOST and its melodramatic and surreal ritual experience in higher demand than ever, the Skeletour World Tour 2026 will further expand the GRAMMY®-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons' community to attract their largest and most diverse audiences to date. From lifelong disciples to the curious, uninitiated first-timers to the outcasts and others who find solace in it, all are welcome to escape the travails of daily life and to become one with the enthralling GHOST ritual.
Continuing a tradition that "demonstrated just how simple, and wonderful, a screenless concert can be” (The Boston Globe), Skeletour World Tour 2026 will be a phone-free experience. Phones will be secured in Yondr pouches. Guests maintain possession of their phones at all times.
GHOST also recently unveiled an enthralling new limited-edition version of the chart-topping “Skeletá,” available at Target. This unholy relic is pressed on special violet mist vinyl and housed in a silver-foiled “Skeletá” box that includes an exclusive GHOST T-shirt design and features a collectible Papa V overlay.
