There's nothing that quite says "Ghost have come to town" like a sea of painted Papas, nuns and masked Ghouls turning out to see the band play. But the band's US tour with Amon Amarth hit an unexpected snag on Friday (August 11) when fans were notified ahead of the show at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in St. Louis, Missouri, that they would be turned away if they wore "face paint or masks covering the face" that were "not removable on request".
Needless to say, this didn't go down well with Ghost's typically exuberant fanbase, especially those who were told to remove face paint that had been meticulously applied pre-show and couldn't enter until they had.
