Watch Ghost Perform ‘Mary on a Cross’ Live in 2022
Ghost were last in Australia in 2019, when they performed as part of that year’s Download Festival in Sydney and Melbourne, along with a headline show in Brisbane. Since then, the band have released their fifth studio album, last year’s Impera.
Next month, Ghost will release a covers EP titled Phantomime featuring their own renditions of songs by Genesis, Television, The Stranglers, Iron Maiden and Tina Turner. That’s set to arrive on Thursday, 18th May, and has been previewed with one single: a cover of Genesis’ ‘Jesus He Knows Me’.
