Known for their euphoric live shows, Ghost has headlined arena tours worldwide, with sold-out performances at venues like New York's Barclays Center and London’s O2 Arena. In March 2022, their fifth album, IMPERA, debuted at #1 on the US album charts, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 and topping charts in Sweden, Germany, and Finland, while achieving top 5 placements in the UK, Netherlands, and Belgium.
