    Billed as a "theatrical rock band," Swedish group Ghost will embark on its biggest world tour to date in 2025, including a stop at the Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

    Starting on April 15 in the United Kingdom, Ghost will play more than 50 shows around the globe over the course of five months. In addition to Fort Worth, they will also play in Austin on August 14 and Fort Worth on August 15.

    Ghost are no strangers to North America; they also came to Dallas, Austin, and Houston in 2023 in support of their 2022 album, Impera.

    They released a feature-length concert film from that tour, Rite Here Rite Now, this past July, which was recorded during their shows in Los Angeles.

    Impera was the band's fifth album overall, a career that has seen them notch four No. 1 albums in their native Sweden. Impera was their highest-charting album in the U.S., coming in at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

    They've also been mainstays on the Mainstream Rock chart, with five of their songs going to No. 1, most recently "Call Me Little Sunshine" in 2022.

    Tickets for the U.S. dates will be available starting with a Citi presale beginning on Tuesday, October 29 at 10 am. The artist presale will begin two hours later at 12 pm.

    Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, November 1 at 10 am at ghost-official.com.

    Houston reels in new rank among 10 best cities for filmmakers in 2026

    Filmmaking, best cities for filmmakers

    Houston has just snapped up new recognition as the No. 10 best place to live and work as a filmmaker in North America, according to MovieMaker Magazine's annual report, "The Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2026."

    The Bayou City has made improvements after ranking 12th in the magazine's 2025 list.

    The annual list ranks the best cities in the U.S. and Canada for individuals to live while working in the film industry, based on production spending, tax incentives, cost of living, the prevalence of "local film scenes," and additional factors. The list is divided into two categories: 25 big cities and 10 smaller cities or towns.

    The spotlighted cities are the places where the publication believes filmmakers "have the best chance of both succeeding in the famously difficult entertainment industry, and making [their] own art."

    For up-and-coming filmmakers that want to live in Texas, MovieMaker says doing it in Houston is "more sustainable than ever" thanks to incentives like the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program, which increased its production grant rebate from 22.5 percent to up to 31 percent for qualified in-state spending. The report also said Houston has an "arms-wide-open" approach for filmmakers.

    "As the biggest city in Texas, and fourth biggest city in America, Houston has nearly every type of location, from cityscapes to piney woods to rolling hills to nearby farmland," the report said. "It’s close to Galveston Island and the Gulf of Mexico, and car commercials love the absence of billboard advertising."

    MovieMaker also highlighted Houston's diversity, its low cost of living compared to the national average, and its local festivals like the Houston Cinema Arts Festival and Houston Latino Film Festival.

    "The city has enough film crew for two to three sizable features, and recent shoots have included the thrillers Eleven Days, with Taylor Kitsch, and A Love, from director Courtney Glaude, Tyler Perry Studios’ executive creator of Scripted and Unscripted," the report said. "Houston is also notable for a strong contingent of films with budgets under $1 million."

    Elsewhere in Texas, Austin ranked as the No. 5 best place to live and work as a filmmaker in North America. Dallas ranked seventh, while neighboring Fort Worth ranked 12th. San Antonio appeared as No. 14, and El Paso landed 25th on the list.
