Those lovable, masked Sweeds in Ghost are being accused of some unholy spiritual crimes<\/a>. The band played a show at Orlando\u2019s Kia Center on January 21, 2026, and at least one employee has surmised that they might have cursed the team with their \u201csatanic\u201d concerts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do they think this?\u201d I\u2019m glad you asked. It\u2019s because the following night, the Magic suffered a terrible homecourt loss to the Charlotte Hornets. In a since-deleted Reddit post, the anonymous employee shared their experience working the Ghost concert. They relayed what they saw led them to believe the band may have hexed the Kia Center.<\/p>\n

The post headline read \u201cKia Center Needs Holy Water,\u201d as per a post shared by\u00a0The Noise\u00a0on social media<\/a>. \u201cSo I work at Kia,\u201d the post read. \u201cThe night before we got blown out by Charlotte there was a concert there by this rock band called\u00a0Ghost\u00a0& I\u2019m not even exaggerating super satanic vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going on to describe the concert\u2019s visuals, the individual criticized what they saw. They labeled it \u201cdevil imagery\u201d with a stained-glass church setup.\u201d They complained about people chanting \u201cLucifer\u201d and \u201call types of weird s***<\/a> I\u2019m not into at all.\u201d The person then added, \u201cI was mad as hell I was forced to sit through that lol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, they offered their opinion on how this might have caused the Magic to lose to the Hornets so badly. \u201cSo my theory is that whatever energy they left in the building carried over into the game because there\u2019s no other explanation for how bad we looked,\u201d they guessed. \u201cIs this a valid excuse or are we just inconsistent af?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghost has yet to respond to the accusations. Considering the Magic\u2019s record is far from spotless, though, I\u2019d say you can chalk this up to the team choking rather than being jinxed. Find Ghost\u2019s remaining tour dates below.<\/p>\n
