Ghost have revealed details of a unique London show for 2016.

The band will return to the UK on the 2nd of March for what they are describing as an “extremely special” seated show at London’s legendary Palladium theatre.

The London Palladium first opened its doors on Boxing Day 1910, and has since been home to many of the theatre world’s most famous productions, including The Sound Of Music and CATS, plus one of UK TV’s most watched programmes, Sunday Night At The Palladium.

Ghost will be presenting a one-of-a-kind experience fully exploring the music, the visuals and the core elements they stand for.

The band are currently part way through a full European headline tour, hitting British shores in December to continue to spread their message. Their latest album, Meliora, was released via Spinefarm Records earlier this year.

Tickets for Ghost’s Palladium show go on sale tomorrow and are available here.

Ghost will play the following UK shows in December:

12th Dec: Beckett University, Leeds
14th Dec: Rock City, Nottingham
15th Dec: Institute, Birmingham
16th Dec: Academy, Newcastle
18th Dec: ABC, Glasgow
19th Dec: Ritz, Manchester
20th Dec: Academy, Bristol
21st Dec: KOKO, London

Ghost share lyric video for ‘He Is’

Ghost have shared a lyric video for their track “He Is.”

The song is lifted from the band’s most recent album, Meliora, released earlier this year via Spinefarm.

Speaking recently to the UK’s Metal Hammer magazine, one of Ghost’s nameless ghouls said: “Some people are talking about this song as something of a surprise – but I’ve never seen it as a wild card, and I’ve been hearing it for a number of years.

“It was actually written for a different purpose, with a slightly different title, several years ago. The fact that it’s been existing in our little circle of friends for quite a while says a lot about the quality of the song. It’s never gone away.”

Ghost are currently on tour in Europe, returning to the UK for a series of shows next month.
