GHOST are in the middle of their biggest world tour to date, performing 55+ shows across the U.S., Europe, the UK, and Mexico.
The GRAMMY-award winning Swedish theatrical rock icons are traversing the globe, delighting fans at scores of the world’s most notable arenas, and now it's Tampa'a turn, with a stop at AMALIE Arena on Saturday, July 12.
The 2025 world tour is GHOST’s first outing since its RE-IMPERATOUR wrapped up its North American run with two sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in 2023, performances that were immortalized in the band’s record-breaking debut feature film RITE HERE RITE NOW.
Limited tickets for this weekend's Tampa concert are still available. Grab them wihile you can!
Accumulating nearly 10 billion streams, GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock band and global sensation GHOST continues to bring the “euphoric spectacle” (ROLLING STONE) of its live shows to ever-growing crowds, most recently on last year’s triumphant RE-IMPERATOUR U.S.A. 2023, which hit more than two dozen North American cities before its two-night finale at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
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, Germany and Finland, while cracking the top 5 in another half dozen or more countries.
Featuring “Spillways”—hailed as a “sweetly constructed rock tune” by THE NEW YORK TIMES and later reimagined with Joe Elliott of Def Leppard—and the GRAMMY-nominated “Call Me Little Sunshine,” GHOST’s fifth #1 at Active Rock radio—IMPERA moved ROLLING STONE to remark, “GHOST predicted the pandemic, now the metal band is foretelling the fall of empires.” The album presented the most current and topical GHOST subject matter to date set against a darkly colorful melodic backdrop making IMPERA a listen like no other—yet unmistakably, quintessentially GHOST.
Having closed out 2022 by cracking the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time, with the RIAA platinum-certified “Mary on a Cross,” as well as IMPERA winning Favorite Rock Album at the American Music Awards and Best Rock Album of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, GHOST unveiled PHANTOMIME, a five-song covers EP including the version of Iron Maiden’s “Phantom of the Opera” that earned the band its fifth GRAMMY nomination.
Most recently, GHOST’s seemingly limitless ambition took the band to the silver screen with the June 2024 theatrical premiere of the feature film RITE HERE RITE NOW. Moving THE LOS ANGELES TIMES to rave "As far as live acts go, they’re one of the best in the business — and now they have the movie to prove it,” RITE HERE RITE NOW quickly became the highest grossing hard rock cinema event in North American history and spawned a chart-topping soundtrack album.
From devoted disciples to the curious uninitiated, the GHOST live ritual experience has seen audiences all over the world turning off their phones and living in the moment—completely spellbound and in the thrall of GHOST.
