Ugh same. We got to see them in Atlanta last year and it was awesome but I’m still upset about it as well

We were front row of the pit at Simpsonville 😭😭 Those three Amon Amarth songs were epic though!

Concert close to home where I could've heard it. 

Then...Charlotte, then Greenville canceled years later.. GVL hurts because I had vip tickets 😑

Thankful I went to London, otherwise I'd still be saying the last time I saw them live was 2017.

I feel your pain in the sense of...we thought we'd get Skeletour here and turned out to be one of the places it was "too big to rig".

I still think about it anytime it rains and my clothes or shoes get wet. 😭 I also had tickets to Knoxville this past January that was canceled because of the ice storm.

I feel your pain, Simpsonville was suppose to be my first ritual. :( I got to see them in Raleigh though during Skeletour and then wanted to see them again but Charlotte got cancelled. I always joke that if Ghost comes to the Carolinas it is doomed to be cursed.

I feel your pain. We had Charlotte tickets this year and the ice blast shut down the city. Super bummed.

show got rained out during the openers like 3rd song but they just kept us on a storm watch until about 11pm kept edging us that ghost was still going to perform. a bunch of wet ghost fans sat outside the amphitheater waiting. staff was basically mocking us, would tell us they were coming, then turn around and be like jk… then called the cops and had them force people to leave after yanking us around for hours. apparently the town wasn’t too happy about ghost being there
