GHOST “It’s a Sin” AVAILABLE ON DSPs FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

As Chapter 24 of their wildly popular webisode series launches (“Frater is Delegating”), GHOST has unearthed a dusty gem and made its cover of Pet Shop Boys’ “It’s a Sin” available to stream across DSPs for the first time. Previously available only as a 7” vinyl bonus single in deluxe editions of GHOST’s 2018 album Prequelle, the GRAMMY-winning Swedish theatrical rock icons’ version of the Pet Shop Boys classic makes good on the song’s co-writer Neil Tennant’s assertion that “’It’s a Sin’, at its heart, is a heavy metal record.”

In other news, GHOST’s “Lachryma” is nominated for a Best Metal Performance at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards. If it wins, it will be GHOST’s second GRAMMY following “Cirice” winning in the same category in 2016.

Finally, GHOST’s SKELETOUR TOUR will kick off a run of 20 new North American rituals beginning January 21st at the Kia Center in Orlando, FL and running through February 23rd at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. GTV will be on hand for the festivities at every stop, capturing the passionate intensity of the GHOST fanbase that moved THE NEW YORK TIMES to comment, “a sense of devotion was palpable among fans. Showgoers streamed out of Penn Station dressed in Ghost-themed costumes, including skeletal face paint, papal robes and nun habits…”

The SKELETOUR TOUR has featured the live debut of songs from SKELETÁ, GHOST’s sixth psalm and first to reach #1 on the Billboard 200. Released April 25, 2025 via Loma Vista Recordings, SKELETÁ’s chart debut marked the first time a hard rock album had gone #1 in the US since 2020 — and also saw #1 debuts in the GHOST’s native Sweden as well as Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Finland. The coming of SKELETÁ was heralded by three singles/videos that trended Top 10 on YouTube, as GHOST garnered #1 spots on TikTok’s #NewMusic, iTunes and Amazon’s Best Sellers. First up was “Satanized”—dubbed a “catchy goth-rock epic” by VICE, followed by the “Lachryma”—a fixture on Spotify’s Viral Charts, both globally and in key territories like the US, UK, Germany, and more deemed “economical, vicious, and contemporary, but tinged by ‘80s rhapsody” by PASTE and “phantasmagoric” by REVOLVER, and “Peacefield,” the monolithic anthem opening both the new record and GHOST’s massive 2025 live rituals.

Having sold half a million tickets and counting, the SKELETOUR TOUR continues a North American swing that included GHOST’s historic first-ever sold-out headlining show at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Continuing a tradition that “demonstrated just how simple, and wonderful, a screenless concert can be” (BOSTON GLOBE), SKELETOUR TOUR 2026 will be a phone-free experience. Phones will be secured in Yondr pouches. Guests maintain possession of their phones at all times.
