Ghost fans, mark your calendars. The band just announced“2 Big To Rig,”a full-length concert film documenting their massive“Skeletour”world tour, hitting cinemas and IMAX on August 26, 2026 for a limited theatrical run. Filmed on 16mm during two sold-out performances at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes in autumn 2025, the film captures nearly 40,000 fans experiencing Ghost’s theatrical live show in all its glory. This is the band’s second collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing, following their 2024 feature film“Rite Here Rite Now,”and it serves as a definitive document of an era that’s now closed.
What makes this release especially meaningful is the context behind it. Frontman Tobias Forge recently announced he’s stepping back from live performances to prioritize family and personal time after an extensive tour schedule. The“Skeletour”wrapped in February 2026 following 70 shows across North America, the UK, and Europe. Forge has been vocal about needing to be present for his 17-year-old children, recognizing that those years don’t come around twice. This film becomes a fitting farewell to that touring chapter while giving fans a chance to relive or finally experience the live show they may have missed. Tickets go on sale July 23, and with the limited theatrical window, fans should move quickly to secure theirs.
One unique element of the“Skeletour”was its phone-free approach. Ghost didn’t allow recording devices in the audience, a decision that fundamentally changed how the band experienced performing live. Tobias Forge has talked about how stepping off stage that first night felt completely different, more connected and present. This concert film becomes the only professional footage of that revolutionary approach, making it an even more valuable capture of a specific moment in Ghost’s history. Are you planning to catch“2 Big To Rig”when it hits theaters?
