Having wrapped up the U.S. leg of their Skeletour World Tour 2025 last night, Ghost are hinting that there’s still more to come…
Ghost have confirmed that they will be announcing even more live dates in support of this year’s Skeletá album.
Papa V Perpetua and co. just wrapped up the U.S. leg of their phenomenal Skeletour World Tour 2025 at Houston, Texas’ Toyota Center last night (August 16), and in a social media post reflecting on the end of this particular run, they hint, “Stay tuned for upcoming dates.” Currently, they have three shows left on their touring calendar – all at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes on September 23, 24 and 25 – and then after that, who knows…
“Last show of this leg, tonight at Toyota Center and it was one for the history books,” reads the full post. “Thank you not only Houston and the state of Texas but also every fan across the United States of America who have made these past six weeks unforgettable. Ye rawked so hard!
“And for that we salute you. Thank You and Good Night / A Nameless Ghoul PS. Stay tuned for upcoming dates. DS”
(Side note: What does ‘DS’ stand for?!)
Of course, the whole thing has been a phone-free experience, with fans attending the Skeletour locking their mobiles away in Yondr pouches. Explaining his reasoning behind this, mastermind Tobias Forge said in March that it was inspired by Ghost’s 2023 LA shows for their Rite Here Rite Now movie, in which phones were also banned.
“I can speak for myself but I think there was a lot of reflection that came in as we had done the LA shows where we recorded [Rite Here Rite Now],” he said. “Because of the nature of filming, we decided to do the Yondr pouches then. And the first thing that hit us, the first night we came offstage, was the crowd was phenomenal.” He added that, “It’s so hard to get people to engage,” especially in big cities where there’s an abundance of live music for everyone, and gig-goers can sometimes be “blasé”.
“The face value of not seeing phones was literally like time travel,” he continued. “I’m not talking about like back to the ’80s, I’m talking about maybe 10 years back in time when people were generally not filming as much, whereas now in modern times it’s just ridiculous. If you’re playing in front of 10,000 people, 8,000 people are holding a phone. And we just said, ‘I wish it was like this all the time.’”
