For their largest production to date, Ghost delivered a rock 'n' roll ritual to their global congregation of fans. Spanning over 70 dates, the Skeletour transformed venues into ceremonial spaces that capture the band’s signature darkness as the Nameless Ghouls perform. To support this vision, TAIT partnered with Ghost’s creative and production teams to deliver an integrated staging and automation package that brought core show elements to life night after night.

At the heart of the design was the band’s logo – a flown “Grucifix”. This illuminated truss structure consisted of an inverted cross with an embedded "G", custom fabricated by TAIT and built to house over 800 moving light fixtures and 400 LED panels. Controlled by the TAIT Navigator Automation Platform, the structure was engineered to fly above the stage and lower during signature songs, creating dynamic visuals throughout each act of the show. Below, a Mag Deck stage with integrated levitation and performer reveal lifts enabled key moments, including Papa Emeritus V’s dramatic elevation and a surprise Ghoul entrance. Additional custom fabrication and LED integration included a descending GHOST sign that was revealed during the final act. The show also featured risers from Gallagher (A TAIT Company) as well as a large cathedral air sculpture from Airworks (A TAIT Company).
By pairing gothic spectacle with engineered precision, TAIT helped to deliver a ceremonial stage experience that supported Ghost’s narrative arc and cemented the Skeletour as a milestone in the band’s ongoing evolution.
