GHOST land in Orlando, kicking off the Skeletour World Tour 2026 at downtown's Kia Center

The GRAMMY-winning rockers GHOST are bringing the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR to Orlando!

After the Swedish heavy metal group’s massive 2025 global trek saw the debut of the latest “anti-Pope” Papa V Perpetua—and several songs from their Billboard 200 chart-topping sixth studio album Skeletá—the second leg of Skeletour will find GHOST holding 20 more rituals across North America in 2026.

The 2026 North American leg of GHOST: Skeletour World Tour kicks off on January 21 at Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. Following stops in cities such as Knoxville, Toronto, Cincinnati, Seattle and Anaheim, the Grammy-winning group will wrap the second North American leg of Skeletour on February 23 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

The SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR has featured the live debut of songs from SKELETÁ, GHOST’s sixth psalm and first to reach #1 on the Billboard 200. Released April 25 via Loma Vista Recordings, SKELETÁ’s #1 debut marked the first time a hard rock album topped the US album chart since 2020 — and also saw #1 debuts in the GRAMMY-winning theatrical rock outfit’s native Sweden as well as Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Finland.

The coming of SKELETÁ was heralded by three singles/videos that trended Top 10 on YouTube, as GHOST garnered #1 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 the “Lachryma”—a fixture on Spotify’s Viral Charts, both globally and in key territories like the US, UK, Germany, and more deemed “economical, vicious, and contemporary, but tinged by ‘80s rhapsody” by PASTE and “phantasmagoric” by REVOLVER, and “Peacefield,” the monolithic anthem opening both the new record and 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” (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. Pre-Order now or pick a copy up starting on Halloween.
