Q103 Presents Ghost at The Palace in Albany on Tuesday, June 6 on their Popestar 2017 Tour. Listen afternoons all week to win tickets before you can buy them.

Sweden's Ghost who’s group’s theatrics are said to have been influenced by Kiss, David Bowie, and Alice Cooper but a band member said they are more influenced by Pink Floyd. The band’s sound has been described by a friend as Blue Oyster Cult meets King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. I've had the chance to see Ghost a few times over the years, including the band's last Capital Region area appearance which was last summer at the Schaghticoke fairgrounds during Rock N' Derby and it's always great to watch these metal masters perform the ritual. The band is on tour with Iron Maiden this summer and the Albany show falls on an off date of the tour. So pumped to see Ghost return to the Capital Region!

Tickets for Ghost go on sale to the general public this Friday, March 31 at 10am through ticketmaster.com, ticketmaster charge by phone at 800-745-3000, and the Palace box office at 518-465-4663.
