Things I witnessed at the Glasgow Ghost Ritual (16th of April 2025)-
Rain and Dew kissed behind Mountain's drums during Mary on a Cross. Just a quick peck on the lips, but STILL.
Dew did his usual 'screaming guitar' thing, Rain walked up to him and turned his guitar off. Dew then reached out to grab the neck of Rain's bass, ended up slicing his finger open, and then tried to wipe his bloody finger all over Rain's bass.
Aurora now plays the keyboards and sings! She has taken Cumulus' podium, has two synths, a tambourine, and three mics.
New ghoulette is on Aurora's old podium, she sings and plays tambourine.
Rain refused to move for Perpetua. Perpetua kept motioning to him to move out of the way during Year Zero and Rain just stood in place and shook his head firmly until Perpetua had to go around him.
THE INFLATABLE CATHEDRAL BACKGROUND FELL DOWN. THIS WAS NOT PLANNED. A curtain was pulled away to reveal the cathedral background (the same one from previous tours), but the curtain got caught on the background and pulled it down straight away. It nearly hit Aurora, and Swiss had to jump out of the way so that it didn't hit him.
During one of the new songs, Papa pops out of a trap door in the stage with a cowbell held up in the air and runs across the stage to give Swiss the cowbell. Swiss plays the cowbell for the entirety of the song.
Ghouls that wear the top hats: Dew, Mountain, Phantom
Ghouls that wear the wimple/klobuk: Aurora, Rain, Swiss, Cirrus new ghoulette
During Majesty, Papa floats about 20 feet above the stage and stays there for the whole song. He doesn't move, apart from his hands motioning as he sings. He has a headset microphone on, instead of holding a mic in his hands, because he has huge metal gauntlets on.
They play four songs from the new album! Two of them being Satanized and Lachryma, and two of them being yet unreleased. The crowd sang Satanized as loud as they did Square Hammer, which is a setlist classic.
If you wanna hear about more things that happened at this ritual, please let me know!
