Ghost @ 2016 Roskilde
The first time I saw Ghost was at Roskilde in 2011. This year was their first time back. What a difference five years can make!
In fact, Ghost has really upped their game since the last time I saw them in early 2013. I take back what I may have inferred about Ghost in my comparison to Tribulation. Ghost no longer just goes out there to play their songs. Lots of theater is involved. I still prefer Tribulation’s heavier and more complex tunes, but both bands put on quite a live performance.
Ghost also received a major stage upgrade. In 2011 they played on the now defunct Odeon Stage in front of maybe 1,000 people. This year, even though they didn’t go on until 2 in the morning, there were over 17,000 people watching them on the Arena Stage.
