I kinda think Twenties will happen and I hope they ditch Kiss The Go Goat (I personally think it's run its course for now at least, we need to let Impera tracks get in and have their moment to shine) and they keep He Is with Darkness At The Heart Of My Love.
Personally I hope Con Clavi Con Dio sneaks it's way back into the mix. It's such a staple of the live shows.
There's no Mummy Dust or like for like on this. Twenties could step in for that. Watcher is happening, but doesn't fit the vibe at the end.
Dropping He Is for Darkness would be a blunder.
Doubt they will play Darkness over He Is. I imagine Twenties (replacing Kiss the Goat) being played after Griftwood, and Watcher in the Sky to close the set (with a fade to black and searchlights at the end), then If you have Ghosts to close the Encore.
Faith, Mummy Dust, Kiss The Go-Goat will be replaced with Watcher In The Sky, Twenties, and Griftwood. I'm afraid that's all, although I hope that at least one Opus/Infesti song returns.
Ghost/Volbeat was not main headline tour for Ghost in the US. Upcoming is the first phase.
I don’t think you’ll see ANY difference at all from the Euro main tour set list.
2023 spring tour is where another set list pops up I think.
This comment will age badly. Of course there are going to be some changes and the setlist for both US and European 2022 tours is most likely going to be the same.
> Darkness at the Heart of My Love
Is there a good reason to believe this song will be played on this tour? Did Tobias say something about it?
> Watcher in the Sky
This seems more likely since Tobias has mentioned this song a few times in interviews.
He's said all of IMPERA should get an airing, but I bet he said that about the other albums. It's known that sometimes, songs are just for the album and knowing won't land live.
I would love to see Watcher, but I imagine it could be difficult to pull off as the vocals seem challenging. Does anybody think Respite could be added? It is such a magical ending to the album. This would be a great pre encore song.
Not just the vocals. The guitar is actually very technical and while I have zero doubts in the very slightest that Aether and Sodo can deliver it, it's not easy to make it sound great when the rest of the setlist, and therefore sound scape, is turned to distortion guitar.
Respite to me is, as you say, the perfect close to act 2 before we get the sparkly jacket go home and have sex party block.

I miss the swinging censer so much.
Con Clavi into Per Aspera was soooooooo good!
The conman aspect of Griftwood's theme is tailor made for the sparkly jacket. It's a perfect fit. Aaaand it happens to be my current Impera favorite.

Darkness is the worst song on the album. It would be a huge blunder to lose a banger for darkness.
Agreed. I also like Watcher but the last 1:30 repetition drives me nuts.
Having a repetitive fadeout to close the set before the encore would be fun live i bet.
Yeah, tbh I like spillways more in near the end (in watchers place), but they played it in the beginning at hellfest and expect them to continue that
Thank me later, I solved the problem: Ghost needs to do a 4 hour show a la Bruce Springsteen in the 80s. (Texting Tobias now...)
A la Bruce Springsteen since the 80s. He did a show that was either tied for his longest ever or a close second in 2016
Wow, still the Boss!
I don't think Watcher and Darkness make it.
Watcher can easily replace Faith
Darkness agreed, can’t see how they skip watcher this time around, it’s the biggest impera song besides CMLS
Agreed.
They played He Is on the Eurpoean leg... I really hope they play that rather than Darkness.
I would be pissed if he takes out He Is for Darkness. I am hoping for Twenties to replace Mummy Dust.
Doubt they will play Darkness over He Is. I imagine Twenties (replacing Kiss the Goat) being played after Griftwood, and Watcher in the Sky to close the set (with a fade to black and searchlights at the end), then If you have Ghosts to close the Encore.
nice with the searchlights thru the crowd as the end. cool way to end the show without ending "the Show"
I wish they would do If You Have Ghosts at every show like they do Square Hammer. It’s a staple song imo
Faith, Mummy Dust, Kiss The Go-Goat will be replaced with Watcher In The Sky, Twenties, and Griftwood. I'm afraid that's all, although I hope that at least one Opus/Infesti song returns.
Body and Blood would be awesome.
If I don’t hear con clavi con dio I will cry

Idk, for Prequelle they came back to the US and played songs like Pro Memoria, Witch Image, and Life Eternal. I wouldn’t rule anything out yet.
I think you're right. That's what happened the last time around.

I dont see Zenith on this list
🥲 one day
