Ghost
Tobias Jens Forge, the masked leader of the Swedish doom metal band, started his first band as a teen. The group’s recent output has us scratching our heads. First, there’s their EP of covers, titled Phantomime. It includes their renditions of Genesis and Tina Turner classics. Then there’s the single “Stay,” which plays in the latest chapter in the Insidious horror film franchise. The cover features vocals from the film’s star, Patrick Wilson. 7:30 p.m., $29.50-$149.50, Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix, 602-254-7200, livenation.com
