Ghost has officially embarked on the highly anticipated U.S. leg of their Skeletour, a thrilling tour designed to promote their latest album, Skeletá. This album has achieved significant acclaim, earning the band their very first No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 chart earlier this year, marking a historic milestone in their career.

The inaugural performance of this exciting tour occurred at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. Here, Ghost captivated the audience with a spectacular 22-song setlist that featured a riveting three-song encore. Notably, the band performed “Per Aspera Ad Inferi” for the first time since 2019, alongside “Satan Prayer,” which made a welcomed return after being absent from live performances since 2020, much to the delight of their dedicated fans.

In addition to these classic tracks, Ghost showcased four fresh songs from Skeletá — “Lachryma,” “Peacefield,” “Satanized,” and “Umbra.” For many fans in attendance, this was an exhilarating opportunity to experience these new tracks live, as Ghost has returned to the stage in the United States, bringing forth their unique sound and theatrical artistry.

True to their signature style, Ghost delivered a stunning theatrical production that left audiences mesmerized. Their elaborate and extravagant presentation enhances the overall experience of their live performances, showcasing their evolution as a band that continues to rise in the music scene.
