America, you’re going to have a pretty good chance of seeing a Ghost this Summer. And by that, of course we mean the band Ghost. In addition to playing with Iron Maiden all Summer in North America, the band will be doing a number of off dates around them. And while we knew that, we weren’t sure who was opening. Now we know, and damn, they did a great job of picking excellent openers.  Zombi, Royal Thunder, Egypt, True Widow, Repulsion, Khemmis and Astronoid will be opening. It’s extremely cool to see them pick these bands. It’s almost like they looked at year-end lists for 2016, in Astronoid and Khemmis’ case. Royal Thunder just released an amazing album, Wick, and it’ll probably be among the largest shows the band plays in front of. It’ll almost definitely be the biggest audience the other bands will play in front of. Here’s where you’ll be able to catch them.
