Okay, so I went to the Cleveland show 7/17/2025 and I had such a blast! I met a few fans and had a nice time chatting with them!

I was sitting outside the arena a bit because my back was bothering me from standing in the merch line, and I chatted with two peeps, one of which showed me they had the other plushies tucked into their hotel bed while they were here for the concert and honestly that is SO blessed! 🥺

I was talking to them about my Frater plushie and we were discussing the prices of everything and how I wanted to get my plushie now since I didn’t see him online. But they brought up a valid point: not online yet! Very true, but I just couldn’t resist! This is my first ever Ghost plushie and I’m so happy I got him!

Went inside and got to my seat, and a couple people showed up and sat to my right. Turns out it was a married couple and if I’m remembering correctly, they drove up from Columbus to see Ghost! I will refer to them as A and C to respect their privacy, but let me tell you I felt so included by them!

C asked me if I had come alone and I said yes, and she went “Awww, I’m sure you have other friends that would have come to the show with you, right?” I said “Yes, but they’re all out of state.” That’s when A chimed in and said “Well we’re your friends now at the Ghost concert!”

🥹💜

They shook hands with me as I introduced myself and they made their introductions as well. I told them this was my first ritual and they said I was in for a treat (they were right!)!

I chatted with A a bit about when I started getting into ghost and when he got into Ghost, I loved chatting with him and C!

A few songs in C leaned over and asked me how I was enjoying the show and I said I loved it 🥺

Also, shoutout to the person on my left who apologized for being drunk and told me they were digging my vibe 😂

The Ghouls were oh so silly, I don’t know his name that the fandom gives him but he was controlling the crowd with hand motions, encouraging one section to cheer before having them go silent. He did this with us and then the center/pit, but before he had a chance to get the pit loud, a guy screamed prematurely and the Ghoul looked at him like 🤨 “hol’ up wait a minute” AGGAJDBQKW it was hilarious!

Papa was lively as ever, having fun running around the stage and dancing away!

Speaking of which, he blew the crowd kisses and he went over to my section, looked me dead in the eyes and blew me a kiss AAAAAAAAA!!!

I was star struck! I of course blew one back 🥰

Being so close to the stage earned me feeling the heat of the pyrotechnics during “Year Zero”, which I thought was absolutely amazing!

And yes, Papa did his silly creechur ™️ walk during "Rats", I loved it!

The Ghouls and Ghoulettes waved at me when I waved at them, and I went 🫶 and so did they in return!

I don’t know the name of the Ghoulette who was given the cowbell but she is literally so elegant and sweet! Love her!

Saw the new guy too and he was absolutely rockin’ it!

“Dance Macabre” deadass looked like a disco show inside the arena, the lights flashing all colors of the rainbow while everyone danced away!

Also, Papa said “FUCK TRUMP!” YEEEEESSSS

I caught a few pieces of confetti during “Mummy Dust” but I wish I had gotten a hold of one of the mummy bucks, if you will, but that’s alright!

Now it’s picture time of my Frater plushie, Skeletour lanyard and confetti I managed to grab from the show!

After experiencing my first ever Ghost ritual, I can tell you with 110% certainty that seeing them live is a good way to headbang and dance the night away all at the same time!

I would love to see Ghost again if they come back!

Heartbreakingly it was set up for Jonathan after their house was burned down. Now the bigots have taken Jonathan too. I don't even know what to say. But if you can pitch in, here's where to do it.

he is alive to ME </3
