GHOUL AD
Ghoul A.D. is an Oklahoma City–based tribute to the band Ghost with the goal ofentertaining and building community through theatrical rock performance.Our mission is to create a space where all fans, especially those who have felt outof place in traditional environments, can come together through rock/metal, theatrics, anda shared love of the strange. In a world, where many individuals and communities feelunseen or unwelcome, Ghoul A.D. provides experiences that celebrate free thought,humor, and belonging, all while absolutely kicking ass with rock music.Ghost is a Swedish rock band formed in Linköping in 2008, known for blendingarena-ready hard rock with theatrical, occult-inspired presentation. Led by the enigmaticPapa Emeritus — a rotating cast of costumed personas portrayed by frontman Tobias Forge— and backed by anonymous musicians known as the Nameless Ghouls, Ghost has builtone of the most devoted fanbases in modern rock.Their sound pulls from classic heavy metal, 70s pop, and prog rock, resulting inmusic that is far more melodic and accessible than their dark imagery might suggest.Songs like “Square Hammer,” “Cirice,” and “Mary On A Cross” have crossed over tomainstream audiences, with “Mary On A Cross” alone surpassing 500 million streams.Ghost’s live shows are full theatrical productions — elaborate costumes, dramaticlighting, fog, and a frontman character who commands the stage like a dark popeaddressing his congregation. They’ve headlined major festivals worldwide and sold outarenas across the US and Europe, winning a Grammy Award along the way.In April of 2026, Ghost announced an extended, if not permanent, hiatus with no confirmedreturn date — making live tribute performances the only way for fans to experience thatshow for the foreseeable future.
