Ghost appear to be teasing a U.S. arena tour.

Having just wrapped up their incredible 2025 Skeletour with two final dates in Mexico City, Papa V Perpetua and co. look like they’re already about to make a return to the stage. Various venues around America have taken to social media to share imagery featuring some very Ghost-looking stained glass window backdrops, with the caption [9.29] and a skull and bat emoji.

Participating venues so far include Anaheim’s Honda Center, Inglewood’s Intuit Dome, Salt Lake City’s Delta Center, Knoxville’s Food City Center, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, Florida’s Kia Center and even more. With the captions all pointing to September 29, keep your eyes peeled for a potential tour announcement later today.

In our review of the opening night of the Skeletour in the UK, we said that, “Ghost already won years ago, a fact spoken to by the legions of Papas and evil nuns filling Manchester’s taxis and trains tonight, not to mention an almost total domination of Ghost shirts in the AO’s postcode. But even for a band with a magical ascent already logged, this all feels like a moment. Iron Maiden had the legendary World Slavery Tour, Metallica had their early ’90s Black Album run, and Slipknot truly arrived with the enormous Iowa campaign.

“With the Skeletour, Ghost can now count themselves among that rare group of bands whose blossoming moments didn’t just do for themselves, but will be remembered as a waymarker in metal’s history books.”
