Mad Gallica, the electrifying force who commanded some of the planet’s most massive stages as the longtime touring keyboardist and backing vocalist for Grammy-winning Swedish hard rock titans Ghost, is unleashing her own supernova. Fresh from her starring turn in Ghost’s 2024 blockbuster smash Rite Here Rite Now—a Top 10 global box office phenomenon—she’s now stepping into the spotlight as the visionary creator of her own explosive universe.

“Everything I’ve poured my soul into has been building to this explosive moment,” Mad declares with fierce passion. “This tour cranks the rock dial to eleven, plunging fans into a fully immersive world we’ve forged from scratch—think Emmy-worthy set design, jaw-dropping costumes, and mind-bending theatrical surprises that pull the audience right into the heart of the madness. Living this dream and watching it ignite has shattered every expectation I ever had. The wild, euphoric reactions from fans? They’re the ultimate reminder of why I do this: to craft epic worlds, forge soul-deep connections, and unleash something truly transformative together.”

Her debut concept EP, Enter The Vortex: Act One (2024), is a cinematic juggernaut—recorded with a full symphony in Prague—that fuses orchestral grandeur with blistering, high-octane energy and her powerhouse vocals. Blending the symphonic sweep of Nightwish, the theatrical bombast of Muse, and the fearless pop flair of Lady Gaga, Mad Gallica delivers a genre-defying sound that’s equal parts epic and intimate. Her latest singles, “Cat in a Bag” and “Human Hand,” crank up the rock-forward intensity, pushing the boundaries even further into uncharted sonic territory.

Mad Gallica, who will be playing a limited run of curated live performances in her upcoming debut tour, The Vortex Awakens, marking her first tour of 2026.

Mad Gallica’s live shows aren’t just concerts—they’re full-throttle, mind-expanding voyages into the unknown. Every thunderous note, lavish costume, and raw lyric dares the audience to embrace their inner MADness, to shatter the ordinary and reveal the extraordinary, radiant beings they truly are. Backed by her razor-sharp five-piece band, she conjures a complete, breathtaking universe through stunning visuals, elaborate theatrics, and emotionally charged anthems that hit like lightning.

With a fiercely devoted six-figure fanbase already rallying behind her, Mad Gallica isn’t just releasing music—she’s building an entire mythology of self-discovery and wild liberation. Step inside The Vortex, and discover the magic waiting to erupt within you. The journey has only just begun.
