Should you be interested in attending, tickets and VIP packages will go on sale this Saturday, March 03rd, via ghost-official.com.
Original Story:
Ahead of an official announcement, a leaked admat for Ghost‘s upcoming headlining run has revealed a number of shows. With a new album and a new Papa Emeritus on the way, you can expect more word to be made available soon—especially given their latest teasing. The below admat has been used to tease these upcoming dates, which are being billed as ‘An Evening With Ghost.’ Notably the admat also makes mention of “Rats!” as well—suggesting a possible album/single title.

05/06 Tucson, AZ – Tucson Convention Center
05/07 Houston, TX – Revention Music Center

Interestingly the VIP packages for the shows include a tour of the “veneration of relics”, suggesting the band will have costumes and props from their various past eras on display. They also mention photo shoots with ‘PapaNil’ and his “newly appointed protege.” That would seemingly refer to what is presumably Papa Emeritus IV and the mysterious Papa we saw onstage last year.
