Ghost announce 2022 UK arena shows

As well as hitting the U.S. next year for a co-headline run with Volbeat, Ghost have announced their own Imperatour.

With support from Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats and Twin Temple, the Swedish titans will be returning to the UK for four huge arena shows next April, stopping off in Manchester, London, Glasgow, and Birmingham.

The tour will also travel through Europe; following on from their UK dates, the Euro leg will begin on April 17 in Rotterdam, and finish up just over a month later in Budapest.

The news of Ghost's live dates follows the release of their first new music in two years, Hunter's Moon, at the end of September. And while that was for the recent Halloween Kills movie (so likely not a new album?!), the band did also unveil a brand-new Papa, so fingers crossed the follow-up to 2018's Prequelle is on the way…
