Ghost (Band) tickets

Ghost Tickets

Ghost is a rock band from Linkoping, Sweden. The group got its start in 2006 but did not put out any music until 2010 when they released a three-track demo as well as a 7-inch vinyl featuring the single Elizabeth. In October 2010, they released their first full-length studio album called

Opus Eponymous

, which was nominated for a 2011 Grammis Award (Sweden's answer to the Grammy) for Best Hard Rock Album. It was their second album,

Infestissumam

, that won them a Grammis for Best Hard Rock/Metal album. Finally, Ghost got worldwide attention with their third album,

Meliora

, which reached No. 1 in Sweden and No. 8 in the United States. Their single, Cirice, won them their first Grammy Award in 2016 for Best Metal Performance. Ghost is known for its unique, eccentric stage presence, which features seven of the band's eight members, known as the Nameless Ghouls, wearing almost identical costumes along with face-concealing masks and makeup.

Ghost: The Band of Anonymity

While Ghost's costuming makes for a striking stage presence and thrills fans at the band's live shows, the other purpose of the costumes is to conceal the musicians' true identities. Any person might be any band member at any time, except for the lead singer, Tobias Forge, who has remained constant. While it is known that the original band lineup has changed over the years, how it has changed remains a secret. The idea is that there is a leader with a church following that includes the band mates, and they are just nameless followers. This has been demonstrated as the lead singer has used incarnations of himself that resemble the pope and even given his iterations names such as Papa Emeritus and Cardinal Copia. These costumes and the anonymity add to the theatrics the band portrays and lend it an aura of mystery.
