The Popestar Tour was the tour by Swedish metal band Ghost in support of their second EP, Popestar. The EP was released on September 16, which coincided with the first show of the tour in Rochester, New York. They toured Europe in the spring of 2017, followed by a tour as openers for Iron Maiden.

During the final show on September 30, 2017, Papa Emeritus III was dragged off stage during the final song. A new incarnation called "Papa Emeritus Zero" was introduced on stage.

This is a sample setlist from the beginning of their tour at the Main Street Armory in Rochester, New York. It does not represent the shows that followed afterwards.

Their cover of Imperiet's "Bible" was performed with a choir at their Stockholm show on April 28, 2017. A 20-piece childrens' choir also joined them for "Monstrance Clock" at the end of their Bloodstock Festival show on August 12, 2017.

"Deus in Absentia" was played on the final two shows of the tour in Stockholm and Gothenburg.
