Ghost has canceled the next three dates of the newly launched 2026 North American leg of its “Skeletour” tour due to a major winter storm forecast for the Carolinas.

The affected shows were scheduled for January 24 in Knoxville, January 25 in Charlotte, and January 26 in Greenville.

In a statement posted to social media on Friday, January 23, the band said local authorities directed the cancellations following states of emergency declared in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

All tickets and VIP packages purchased through Ticketmaster will be refunded automatically.

The tour began January 21 at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida, and is set to run through February 23 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, totaling 33 North American dates. The next scheduled performance is January 28 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Ghost’s most recent album, Skeletá, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 86,000 equivalent album units in its first week. The music video for the lead single, “Satanized,” introduced Papa V Perpetua, the character fronting the band for its 2025–2026 touring cycle.

The European leg of Ghost’s 2025 world tour ran from April 15 in Manchester, England, to May 24 in Oslo, Norway.
