Ghost have announced their first pair of US arena headlining concert dates as part of a 2018 tour in support of their upcoming album, “Prequelle.”
The Swedish outfit will perform at the Forum in Inglewood, CA on November 16 and New York's Barclays Center on December 15.
Tickets for the shows will go on sale Friday, May 4 at 10:00am local time.
Already set to launch the new record on a spring North American tour that begins in Riverside, CA on May 5, Ghost revealed the fall shows during a live-streamed press conference from New York City’s Irving Plaza on Monday.
Due June 1, the project marks the introduction of the band's new leader, Cardinal Copia, who made his live debut with Ghost at a private, acoustic performance in Chicago, IL on April 6.
The Cardinal – who has heterochromia iridum, a condition where the iris of one eye is a different color than the iris of the other eye – replaces outgoing singer Papa Emeritus III following his work on their third album, 2015's "Meliora", and 2016’s "Popestar" EP.
Ghost recorded “Prequelle” at Artery Studios in Stockholm, Sweden with producer Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Opeth); the set has been previewed with the lead single, “Rats.”
