Ghost have offered a peek at their Skeletour concerts with the new music video for Peacefield.
The track, which comes from last week’s album Skeletá, has today (April 28) been reissued with footage from the Swedish band’s ongoing world tour. It’s one of very few video snippets of their 2025 stageshow that fans will get, given Ghost have banned mobile phones from the venues they play. Watch below.
Ghost announced their Skeletour run last year, and they mark the outfit’s first full leg of shows where phones aren’t allowed. They initially put the practice in place for two nights at The Forum in Los Angeles in 2023, as they were being filmed for 2024 movie Rite Here Rite Now, but enjoyed the performances so much that they brought it back.
Singer/mastermind Tobias Forge, who performs as Ghost’s masked frontman Papa V Perpetua, explained the ban during an interview with Planet Rock earlier this year.
“I don’t wanna turn this into an ageist thing where I’m gonna tell 14-year-olds everything was better back then,” he said (via Blabbermouth). “But I swear that the experience of shows and the making of memories, the making of magic, was much more powerful [at the phone-free Los Angeles concerts].
“Some of the best shows I’ve ever been to, I have maybe not even seen a picture from that because they all live here [in my head]. They live in my core. That’s the memory I have of that. And that is an experience I wish for.”
Ghost are using Yondr pouches for their phone ban. The pouches let attendees keep their devices on their person but can only be magnetically sealed and unsealed by security at entrances and exits.
The band are currently playing across mainland Europe, with their next concert taking place at MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, on April 29. See all of their upcoming dates, including North and Central American stops, below.
Skeletá came out on Friday (April 25) to critical acclaim. Metal Hammer’s Joe Daly awarded it four stars in his review.
He wrote: “This is an album that demands patience, revealing its seductive charms over multiple listens. And no, that’s not a cop-out, it’s a testament to its depth.
“This is Ghost freed from expectation. Tobias Forge has nothing left to prove. And so, he does precisely what he wants. The faithful will undoubtedly follow. The rest will be left scratching their heads, unsure whether they missed the point or if Ghost have finally moved beyond their reach.”
