Ghost‘s new album Prequelle is out on June 1 and the band start  North American tour on May 5 in Riverside, Calif. Also band announce first ever Arena shows as a headliner.

Founder and frontman Tobias Forge promises his group will be bigger and better for the tour according the recent interview with the billboard.

“It will definitely be an upgrade,” Forge, who will be introducing his new character Cardinal Copia, tells Billboard.”

“We have a bigger band now in terms of personnel,” Forge says, “so it’s way more live now. Before we were doing a little bit of the modern trickery, with backing tracks and stuff to make the whole sound a certain way. Now we’re taking that away so we’re a little more like a Springsteen or Guns N’ Roses sort of band with backup singers and everything. It feels great. It’s gonna be the best version yet — but there’s still a lot to come after that.”
