Swedish metal band Ghost has a cure for concertgoers tired of staring at other fans’ smartphones.

The band recently announced a world tour in April 2025 and fans looking to purchase tickets should read the fine print below. This tour will be a “phone-free experience,” requiring fans to place their devices in a Yondr bag upon entering the venue. Don’t worry; In an emergency, the bags are unlocked within the designated telephone zones.

“This show will be a phone-free experience. Phones are secured in Yondr bags. Guests retain ownership of their phones at all times.”

Musicians like Jack White, Alicia Keys and comedians Dave Chappelle and Jerrod Carmichael have used Yondr bags at their shows to encourage people to live in the moment.

This won’t be the first time Ghost has gone phone-free. During the band’s performances on September 11th and 12th last year at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, they instituted the same policy as the concerts were being filmed for their Rite Here Rite Now. Lead singer Papa Emeritus IV expressed in an interview how satisfied he was with the process Rock sound:

“Since I’ve been in a club band, I’ve never seen an audience interact like they used to. They were the best shows I ever did with Ghost, just because I didn’t have to see those damn cell phones.”
