Goldenvoice Presents: Ghost 'Rats on the Strip' Surprise Pop Up Show at the Roxy Theater

I had the rare and cool opportunity to photograph the band 'Ghost' pop up show at the Roxy Theater on Friday May 3rd. The band announced the show the day before and fans started lining up immediately to score one of the coveted 500 tickets. 

Kick starting their 2018/2019 tour the band arrived to the venue 30 minutes late,. live streaming their grand entrance via the front door on their Instagram story. The crowd cheered as the band burst onto stage and opened up with 'Rats'. The band played a 45 minute set to an enegetic crowd full of die hard fans. 

Amoungst the moody lighting and thick fog, The Cardianl Copia reached out to as many fans as he could through out the performance. The band played a stripped down version of what was to come and it certainly got fans excited for the upcoming tour. The set list from the evening is roughly as follows
