Seven new dates for The Ultimate Tour Named Death, Ghost’s six-week North American headline arena tour were announced today. With Nothing More providing support for the tour, the dates kick off on Friday, Sept. 13 in Bakersfield, Calif. and feature a date at Richcraft Live at Canadian Tire Centre on Friday, Oct. 18.
In support of this tour, Faith, the third single from Ghost’s Grammy-nominated album Prequelle, went to Rock radio just last week and is the No. 1 most added track, with a total of 36 adds. Faith follows Prequelle’s two previous singles, Rats and Dance Macabre, both of which held the No.1 spot on the Active and Mainstream Rock radio charts for multiple weeks. An eminently tight track with its relentless and melodic guitar solos and dark, torturous lyrics,Faith manifests Ghost creative force Tobias Forge’s flair for soaring stadium-size anthems.

A live performance of Faith was shot last November at Ghost’s sold-out Los Angeles Forum show, the band’s first-ever North American headline arena concert. The clip showcases this tour’s expanded theatrical production, a striking stage set resembling a medieval cathedral with a backdrop of illuminated stained-glass windows. In addition to rich costumes, special effects and a spectacular light show tailor-made for arenas, the Cardinal, the Ghouls and the Ghoulettes will take advantage of a series of multi-level platforms and walkways to prowl around on while performing some of Ghost’s fan-favourite songs from the band’s album and EPs catalog. The set list will include favourites Square Hammer, Cirice, Ashes, He Is, Year Zero, Rats, Mummy Dust, Life Eternal, Dance Macabre and many more. Watch Faith from A Pale Tour Named Death:
