Ghost fans, mark your calendars: the band just announced that their latest concert film,‘2 Big To Rig,’will hit theaters and IMAX on August 26, 2026. The film captures the final two nights of Ghost’s legendary‘Skeletour’at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes, shot in beautiful 16mm film format. This isn’t just a standard live recording—it’s a cinematic experience that showcases the elaborate stage production and artistry that defined one of the band’s most ambitious touring eras. With tickets going on sale July 23, it’s your chance to relive (or experience for the first time) what many consider one of the most visually stunning tours in recent rock history.
What makes‘2 Big To Rig’even more special is the context behind it. During the‘Skeletour,’Ghost maintained a strict no-phones policy at venues, creating an exclusive experience where fans could fully immerse themselves without worrying about endless phone footage flooding social media. The band is now giving fans worldwide a chance to experience that same energy through a theatrical release, making it possible for anyone to witness the production and artistry that was previously only available to those who attended the live shows. This film serves as a perfect capstone to an incredible chapter in Ghost’s history, especially since the band is taking a well-publicized break from touring after this era concludes.
The theatrical release also marks a shift in how Ghost is sharing their concert experiences with fans. Unlike some bands that immediately post live content online, Ghost chose to preserve the theatrical magic of‘Skeletour’and present it on the big screen where it belongs. If you’ve been following Ghost’s evolution or missed out on catching the tour, August 26 gives you the perfect opportunity. So what will you do: catch it at your local cinema or splurge for the IMAX experience?
