Formed in Sweden in 2006, Ghost is theatrical rock band led by the mysterious character of Papa Emeritusa - with the rest of the group’s member simply known as ‘Nameless Ghouls’.

They shot to fame with debut album Opus Eponymous in 2010 and four further albums have followed including 2015’s Meliora, which hit the top 10 in the US, and most recently 2022’s Impera.

In 2016 they won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance for their single Cirice.

They are currently preparing to release sixth studio album Skeletá and are embarking on a huge world tour entitled the Skeletour - and there’s good news for Scottish fans, with a date in Glasgow.

Here’s everything you need to know.
