Thousands of fans flooded Birmingham city centre on Sunday night as Swedish rock band Ghost rolled into town — but it wasn’t just the music that had everyone buzzing. The band’s strict no-phone policy at the Utilita Arena left concertgoers queuing for ages just to get in.
As part of their Skeletour World Tour, Ghost demanded that all mobile phones be locked away in pouches before entry — and they weren’t messing about. Signs around the arena made it clear: anyone caught using a phone inside would be kicked out. That rule sparked some serious hold-ups, with queues stretching from the arena all the way to the Library of Birmingham in one direction and up the canal toward Edgbaston in the other, reported Birmingham Live.
