- It’s happening - GHOST are kicking off the Skeletour World Tour 2026 at Orlando's Kia Center!
Ghost are kicking off 2026 wit a second North American leg of their Skeletour. The GRAMMY-winning rockers GHOST has confirmed that its SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR will continue to pack arenas in the new year, with the announcement of 20 new North American rituals kicking off January 21 at the Kia Center in Orlando, FL and running through February 23 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Tickets go live this Friday, October 3 at 10 am local. Citi cardmembers in the U.S. will have access to presale tickets beginning Monday, September 29 at 10 am local time until Thursday, September 25 at 10pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program. For complete presale details visit http://www.citientertainment.com/ . Verizon will offer customers an exclusive presale for the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR in the U.S. – no strings attached, simply for being a Verizon customer. The presale for select shows runs from Monday, September 29 at 10 am local time until Thursday, September 25 at 10 pm local time. Visit myAccess in the My Verizon app for more details. For further information on tickets, updates, VIP packages and more, go to ghost-official.com . Orlando! Check out the latest entertainment news from throughout Central Florida. 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.

- The Wiz is easing on down the road to Orlando, flying into the Walt Disney Theater Sept. 30 - Oct. 5
The Wiz is a Tony Award-winning musical adapted from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with a North American tour currently underway, landing in Orlando on September 30. Everybody, look around! First up in the 25/26 AdventHealth Broadway in Orlando season at Dr Phillips Center is The Wiz. This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world. The Tony Award-winning Best Musical that took the world by storm returns “home” in an all-new tour, direct from Broadway. See “The Wiz” when it comes to Walt Disney Theater, September 30 - October 5. Featuring a book by William F. Brown and a Tony Award-winning score by Charlie Smalls (and others), director Schele Williams ( The Notebook , revival of Disney’s Aida ), award-winning choreographer JaQuel Knight (Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies,” Black is King ), additional material by Tony-nominated and Emmy-nominated writer and TV host Amber Ruffin (“The Amber Ruffin Show,” “Late Night With Seth Meyers”), Joseph Joubert (music supervision, orchestrations, & music arrangements), Allen René Louis (vocal arrangements, music arrangements), and Emmy Award-winning music director and Grammy Award-winning writer, Adam Blackstone (Dance Music Arranger), and Paul Byssainthe Jr. (Music Director), are conjuring up an Oz unlike anything ever seen before. A dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop will bring a whole new groove to easing on down the road. Get your tickets to The Wiz before the musical eases on down the road! https://www.drphillipscenter.org/events/tickets/2025/the-wiz/ Check out the latest theater and performing arts news from throughout Central Florida. The Wiz design team includes scenic design by Academy Award-winning Hannah Beachler (Black Panther, Beyoncé’s Black is King and Lemonade), costume design by Emmy Award-winning and two-time Academy Award-nominated Sharen Davis (Ray, Dreamgirls), lighting design by Barrymore Award-winning Ryan J. O’Gara (Thoughts of a Colored Man), sound design by Jon Weston (Parade), video and projection design by Daniel Brodie (Motown the Musical), wig design by Charles LaPointe (MJ the Musical) and make-up design by Kirk Cambridge-Del Pesche (The Piano Lesson). The production also includes ‘Everybody Rejoice’ with music and lyrics by Luther Vandross, as well as the ‘Emerald City Ballet’ with music by Timothy Graphenreed. Based on L. Frank Baum’s children’s book, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, The Wiz takes one of the world’s most enduring (and enduringly white) American fantasies and transforms it into an all-Black musical extravaganza for the ages. Looking for more fun events and things to do in Central Florida? Check out our Events Guide . The Wiz premiered on Broadway in 1975 and became an instant sensation, going on to win seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Ted Ross), Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Dee Dee Bridgewater), Best Choreography (George Faison) and in a Broadway first, Best Direction of a Musical and Best Costume Design (Geoffrey Holder). “Ease on Down the Road” became the show’s break-out single, and “Home” has since become a bona fide classic. That original production ran for four years (first at The Majestic Theatre and later at The Broadway Theatre)–and 1,672 performances–on Broadway. A 1978 film adaptation starred Diana Ross, Ted Ross, Mabel King, Richard Pryor and Lena Horne, and marked Quincy Jones’ first collaboration with Michael Jackson.
