Priest, featuring former band members of Ghost, announce first Sweden show in 2025

Author Stefanie Nysand - 30.4.2025

It’s been a while since Priest played in their home country of Sweden, and there have also been few European shows in 2025, as the Swedish dark 80s style synth-pop band, which partly consists of former band members of the Swedish rock heavyweights Ghost, has its biggest market in the US, “both in terms of streams and merchandise sales”. Accordingly, in July 2025, Priest will embark on their second US tour this year, alongside Powerman 5000, Ill Niño, Hed PE and The Great Alone. They will also be playing at the legendary “Whisky A Go Go” in Los Angeles for the second time this year, only this time as the headliner. Meanwhile, fans in Sweden now have the opportunity to see Priest live at “Sofiehof Underjord” in Jönköping on 30 August 2025, alongside Unify Separate and Thin Eater. Tickets and further information can be found here. The last time Priest performed live in Sweden was during their joint tour with Combichrist and aux animaux in December 2024.
