Ghost is a Swedish rock band known for their unique blend of heavy metal, classic rock, and pop sensibilities. Formed in 2006, the band quickly gained attention for their melodic yet dark sound, which draws influences from bands like Blue Öyster Cult, Black Sabbath, and ABBA.

Ghost’s live shows are a theatrical, immersive experience that blurs the line between rock concert and ritualistic performance. Fronted by the enigmatic Papa Emeritus (currently Papa Emeritus IV), and backed by the masked Nameless Ghouls, the band delivers a visual spectacle filled with elaborate costumes, gothic stage design, and dramatic storytelling.

What sets Ghost apart is how they turn every show into a narrative-driven spectacle, part rock opera, part cathedral ceremony, creating an unforgettable experience that’s both entertaining and deeply atmospheric. Whether in a small theater or a massive arena, Ghost brings a level of showmanship and cohesion rarely seen in modern rock.

This heartwarming event is the highlight of our year where we can showcase the hard work of our clients as they “walk” down the Red Carpet. It is truly breathtaking to see! Our clients come from Orlando and surrounding communities, as well as out-of-state and even internationally. Imagine hearing a client’s story of being injured (and told they were never going to walk again) as they are progressing down a Red Carpet in front of hundreds of cheering fans. This is definitely an event you won’t want to miss!!
