Ghost to Release 16mm Concert Film '2 Big To Rig' in Cinemas and IMAX

The feature gathers exclusive pro-shot footage from two sold-out Mexico City nights to serve as a staged farewell before frontman Tobias Forge pauses touring.

Overview

  • The band and Trafalgar Releasing announced the film on July 16, with tickets going on sale July 23 and a limited theatrical and IMAX release starting August 26.
  • Directed by Amir Chamdin, 2 Big To Rig was shot on 16mm over two sold-out September 2025 shows at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes and mixes live ritual with behind‑the‑scenes interludes.
  • Trafalgar and the band say the film contains the only pro-shot footage of Papa V Perpetua and the Nameless Ghouls from Ghost’s phone‑free Skeletour and aims to recreate the live experience for fans who could not attend.
  • The release is framed as a nostalgic document that closes the Skeletour era, which ended in February 2026 after roughly 70 shows supporting the 2025 No. 1 album Skeletá.
  • Beyond giving fans worldwide access to the stage show, the film keeps the band visible during Tobias Forge’s announced break from touring and follows Ghost’s earlier concert film success with Rite Here Rite Now.
