Ghost Launches US Skeletour With 22-Song Set in Baltimore

Ghost launched the U.S. leg of their Skeletour World Tour on July 9, 2025, at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, celebrating their latest album Skeletá, which marked their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The band performed a 22-song setlist spanning their career, including four tracks from Skeletá and fan favorites like "Square Hammer," "Rats," and "Dance Macabre." Notably, they revived "Per Aspera ad Inferi" for the first time since 2019 and "Satan Prayer" since 2020. Frontman Tobias Forge, aka Papa V Perpetua, described their concerts as communal rituals akin to church gatherings, where fans engage deeply with the band's music and theatrical presentation. The tour includes stops at major venues such as Madison Square Garden and the MGM Grand Garden Arena, with dates continuing through August. Ghost's theatrical and ornate production continues to captivate audiences, reinforcing their rising status in the rock and metal scene.
