Ghost kicked off the U.S. leg of their Skeletour last night in Baltimore – and they made a couple of changes from the UK and European shows…
Fresh from his appearance at Saturday’s mega Back To The Beginning gig in Birmingham, Papa V Perpetua made it to the States to kick off the next leg of Ghost’s incredible Skeletour.
The band hit Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena on Wednesday, July 9 to deliver a killer 22-song set for the first night of this run, making a couple of tweaks from the UK and European dates earlier in the year.
Once again they opened with the excellent Skeletá one-two of Peacefield and Lachryma, before playing Spirit and then Infestissumam’s Per Aspera ad Inferi for the first time in six years. After that there was a similar career-spanning mix of everything from The Future Is A Foreign Land to Cirice and Satanized, before Opus Eponymous’ Satan Prayer for the first time since 2020.
Then, the second half of the set brought an unstoppable run of bangers, from Rats to Kiss The Go-Goat, Mummy Dust and Monstrance Clock, and a three-song encore of Mary On A Cross, Dance Macabre and Square Hammer. Phew…
