Ghost Wrote Rock History in Manchester – And This Is Just the Beginning

In my humble opinion, on April 15th, 2025, Ghost wrote new pages of rock history during the first show of their new Skeletour tour. They made history, carried out a kind of revolution, if you will. How and why, and what I’m even talking about here, might not be immediately clear.

Maybe it’s too soon. But the scope of what we witnessed yesterday—or rather, what we didn’t witness—could fundamentally change things and be a real game changer in the rock music business and rock culture in general. You can read the basic outline of what happened in Manchester in the text below or watch the video on our YouTube page. This is something people will be talking about for a long time…

• April 15th, Manchester – Ghost did what most bands wouldn’t dare.

• No phones allowed. You read that right. Zero. Nada. Locked away.

• What happened? Magic. Real connection. Actual energy in the air.

• People weren’t filming. They were feeling.

• It was a gig like it used to be—sweaty, loud, eyes wide open.

• Ghoulbangers Ball show on the hoirizon

• No more crappy fan footage.

• Live reviews mean something again.

• Pro photos are gold now—rare, raw, powerful.

• Fans walking out said they’d never felt anything like it.

• This wasn’t just a concert. It was a f***ing reset.

• Ghost made history last night.

• And maybe—just maybe—the future of live music got saved.
