I think we can all agree that at a certain age, the prospect of a 4 band bill on a Thursday night is not that appealing. When the gig in question is the first date on the first ever Make Them Suffer UK headline tour…well that changes things quite a bit. Rolling into The Engine…
As someone who has been following Ghost for over a decade, it’s been really interesting and gratifying watching their ascension.
