Ghost and Volbeat Announce Joint US Tour for 2022
Two of Scandinavia’s biggest rock bands, the theatrical Swedish metallers Ghost and Denmark’s Volbeat, have announced a joint tour of the US next year.
The shows, which will see the two bands supported by ‘Satanic doo wop’ outfit Twin Temple, begin in January 2022 and run until early March.
“We are so incredibly excited to get back to these cities with a Volbeat headline show, but getting to do it alongside a headline show from our goulish friends in Ghost AND bringing the incomparable Twin Temple with us? How soon will it be January already!? Start getting ready, the thunder and lightning is coming to your town in 2022,” said Volbeat in a statement.
Ghost had teased the forthcoming announcement of a tour with a video, in which the band’s Papa Emeritus IV takes part in a ‘Doom’ (a parody of Zoom) call with Sister Imperator.
A new album from Ghost is expected in the coming months. Last year frontman Tobias Forge said that they were planning on entering the studio at the beginning of 2021, with the aim of releasing their fifth LP towards the end of the year.
Forge added that the release would coincide with a new tour and that no album would be released until it is safe to resume touring following the coronavirus pandemic.
For Volbeat, this will mark their second major headlining touring leg in nearly two years. The band is heading stateside later this week to kick off the “Wait a Minute … Let’s Tour” trek.
