November 2016 was the first time I saw Ghost perform at the Hard Rock Live at Universal Studios. Since then, they’ve returned to Florida multiple times performing at venues and festivals. Now, on January 21st, Ghost returns to Orlando to for their 2026 Skeletour World Tour at the Kia Center.
The Skeltour World Tour has featured the live debut of songs from Skeleta, Ghost’s sixth psalm and first to reach #1 on the Billboard 200. Released April 25th via Loma Vista Recordings, Skeleta’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 Skeleta 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 22nd. 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), the 2026 Skeletour World Tour will be a phone-free experience. Phones will be secured in Yondr pouches. Guests maintain possession of their phones at all times.
