The New Romantic Pop sensations went on to achieve seven UK Top 10 singles, nine Top 10 singles in the USA, and nine Top 20 singles in Australia – including “Karma Chameleon” and “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” – and sell over 100 million singles and 50 million albums worldwide. In 1984, the band picked up the Grammy Award for “Best New Artist”, and the awards for “Best British Group” and “Best British Single” at the BRIT Awards.
Culture Club became the first group since The Beatles to have three Top 10 hits in America from a debut album, and the first group in music history to have an album certified diamond in Canada. After Culture Club’s split in 1986, Boy George released his debut solo single “Everything I Own”, which reached #1 in the UK and reached the Top 10 in an additional eight countries. In a solo career spanning three decades, Boy George has released nine studio albums, as well as 1993’s At Worst… The Best of Boy George and Culture Club compilation album.
Boy George has written and released three memoirs; 1995’s Take It Like a Man, 2005’s Straight and 2023’s Karma. All three have become UK best sellers, with the latter staying in The Sunday Times’ best-seller list for six weeks.
Boy George debuted at Number 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles Chart for his collaboration with Kim Wilde – “Shine On”! Boy George & Culture Club recently performed a series of exclusive UK outdoor shows as part of Heritage Live Concert Series for 2021, which included a very special date at Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath in July 2022.

Live From Mohegan Sun Arena on Wednesday, January 28th
UNCASVILLE, CT (September 29, 2025) – GHOST has confirmed that its SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR will continue to pack arenas in the new year, with today’s announcement of 20 new North American rituals including a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena on Wednesday, January 28th at 8:00pm.
The artist presale will begin on Tuesday, September 30th at 10:00am. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale kicking off on Friday, October 3rd at 10:00am via Ticketmaster. Rock fans can purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, October 4th.
The SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR has featured the live debut of songs from SKELETÁ, GHOST’s sixth psalm and first to reach #1 on the Billboard 200. Released April 25th via Loma Vista Recordings, SKELETÁ’s #1 debut marked the first time a Hard Rock album topped the US album chart since 2020 — and also saw #1 debuts in the GRAMMY-winning Theatrical Rock outfit’s native Sweden as well as Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Finland. The coming of SKELETÁ was heralded by three singles/videos that trended Top 10 on YouTube, as GHOST garnered #1 spots on TikTok’s #NewMusic, iTunes and Amazon’s Best Sellers. First up was “Satanized”—dubbed a “catchy Goth-Rock epic” by VICE, followed by the “Lachryma”—a fixture on Spotify’s Viral Charts, both globally and in key territories like the US, UK, Germany, and more deemed “economical, vicious, and contemporary, but tinged by ‘80s rhapsody” by PASTE and “phantasmagoric” by REVOLVER, and “Peacefield,” the monolithic anthem opening both the new record and GHOST’s massive 2025 live rituals.
Having sold half a million tickets and counting, the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR continues a North American swing that included GHOST’s historic first-ever sold-out headlining show at New York’s Madison Square Garden on July 22nd. With GHOST and its melodramatic and surreal ritual experience in higher demand than ever, the SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2026 will further expand the GRAMMY-winning Swedish Theatrical Rock icons’ community to attract their largest and most diverse audiences to date. From lifelong disciples to the curious uninitiated first-timers to the outcasts and others who find solace in it, all are welcome to escape the travails of daily life and to become one with the enthralling GHOST ritual.
Continuing a tradition that “demonstrated just how simple, and wonderful, a screenless concert can be” (BOSTON GLOBE), SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR 2026 will be a phone-free experience. Phones will be secured in Yondr pouches. Guests maintain possession of their phones at all times.
GHOST also recently unveiled an enthralling new limited edition version of the chart-topping SKELETÁ, available at Target. This unholy relic is pressed on special Violet Mist vinyl, and housed in a silver-foiled SKELETÁ box that includes an exclusive GHOST T-shirt design, and features a collectible Papa V overlay. Pre-Order now or pick a copy up starting on Halloween.
The use of phones, smart watches, and accessories will not be permitted in the performance space.
Upon arrival at Mohegan Sun Arena, all phones, smart watches, and electronic accessories will be secured in individual Yondr pouches that will be opened at the end of the event. Guests maintain possession of their devices at all times and can access them throughout the event only in designated Phone Use Areas within the Arena. All devices will be re-secured in Yondr pouches before returning to the performance space.
Anyone seen using a device (phone, smart watch or accessories) during the performance will be escorted out of the venue.
