Ghost To Play London's Royal Albert Hall

Ooooh, fancy!

June 26, 2018

Following on from the release of their fourth album, Prequelle, earlier this month, Swedish heavy metallers Ghost have announced a huge show.

It'll take place at London's historic Royal Albert Hall on September 9, and we've no doubt current leader Cardinal Copia will wear something special for the occasion.

O2 pre-sale tickets launch on Wednesday, June 27 at 9am GMT. General tickets go on sale from 9am on Friday, June 29.

Pick up your tickets here.
