GHOST HEADLINES FIRST ARENA SHOW AT THE L.A. FORUM Geezer Butler, Robert Trujillo, Jerry Cantrell  Among the Congregation New Ghost Single, "Dance Macabre," Goes to #9 at Mainstream Rock with 18-million U.S. Streams "...the Swedish hard rockers raised an unholy ruckus at the Forum."  -- Los Angeles Daily News

Ghost's Cardinal Copia, Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler LOS ANGELES, CA - MONDAY, November 19, 2018 -- Grammy-winning Swedish rockers GHOST headlined its first sold-out arena show at the Los Angeles Forum this past Friday night and brought the house down.  Two-hours-and-40-minutes of rock theatrics and mayhem (a two act-production with a 15-minute intermission) performed on a medieval cathedral-type set with a backdrop of stained glass windows, staircases that went to a variety of levels and platforms, shooting fire, pyro, confetti (or "Mummy dust" as Ghost refers to it), and a lighting design that was just stellar.  The pacing of the show, the musicianship, and the charismatic front man himself, Cardinal Copia, proved to be as funny and charming as he was outrageous.   The congregation for Ghost's powerful unholy service included members of hard rock royalty: Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler, Metallica's Robert Yrujillo, Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains, and Avenged Sevenfold's M Shadows, all big Ghost fans.  Ghost's new single, "Dance Macabre"moves up to #9 at Mainstream Rock Radio this week with 18-million U.S. streams.  With two more headline arena shows ahead - Place Bell, Laval, QC (12/7) and Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY (12/15), Ghost continues its North American headline tour.  Remaining dates are below.
