Ghost fans hoping for fresh music may need to press pause on their expectations. In a new interview, Tobias Forge, the creative force behind the chart-topping rock band Ghost, openly shared that there are currently no plans for a new EP or album from the group.
While the band remains active on tour, Forge made it clear that Ghost’s future releases are wide open and intentionally unplanned. Speaking with Adam Wallis of Canada’s Global News, Forge was asked if Ghost would continue its long-running pattern of releasing an EP after each full-length album. His answer was simple and direct: no new EP is coming right now.
According to Forge, Ghost is fully focused on its ongoing North American Skeletour, and once that wraps up, there is nothing scheduled in the studio for the band. While he confirmed that he is currently recording music, Forge emphasized that it is not a new Ghost record and not a covers EP either.

Forge explained that for nearly 15 years, the band moved from one project straight into the next without rest. Album cycles blended, tours followed studio sessions, and there was always another deadline waiting. Now, for the first time in years, Forge says he is allowing space for ideas to breathe instead of forcing the next step.
He still has dreams, goals and a wish list for Ghost, just not on a fixed timeline. And to him, that uncertainty feels healthy.
While new music is on hold, Ghost’s live shows continue to make headlines, especially because of the band’s strict no-phones policy on the Skeletour.
Fans attending shows are required to lock their phones inside Yondr pouches, which stay sealed throughout the performance unless unlocked by venue staff outside the main hall. Forge admitted he expected backlash when the rule was announced, and there was plenty of online chatter before the tour began. However, more than 50 shows into the tour, Forge believes the decision was absolutely the right one.
He said audience reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with most fans enjoying the chance to fully experience the show without screens blocking the view. Forge also noted that the policy allows him to better connect with the crowd from the stage, something he values deeply as a performer.
Despite keeping future music plans open-ended, Ghost remains busy on the road. The 2026 North American leg of the Skeletour kicked off on Jan. 21 in Orlando and runs through Feb. 23 in Los Angeles.
The band’s next show is scheduled for Jan. 28 in Uncasville, Connecticut, following the cancellation of three dates due to state-of-emergency conditions in parts of the Southeast.
The tour follows a massive run of success for Ghost. In May 2025, the band’s latest album, Skeletá, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It marked the first hard rock album to top the chart since 2020 and sold 86,000 equivalent units in its first week, with vinyl making up a major share of those sales.
The album also introduced Ghost’s newest frontman persona, Papa V Perpetua, who currently leads the band through its 2025 and 2026 touring cycles.
For now, Ghost fans can expect powerful live shows, just not new music anytime soon.
