Ghost's '2 Big To Rig' Concert Film Captures the Final Skeletour Nights in Mexico City

Ghost just announced one of the most anticipated concert films of the year.‘2 Big To Rig’documents the final two nights of the band’s legendary Skeletour at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes, and it’s being released in theaters and IMAX on August 26th. The film was shot on 16mm, giving it a nostalgic, cinematic quality that perfectly matches Ghost’s visual aesthetic. This is significant because the Skeletour was logistically too massive to tour globally, and Ghost’s strict no-phones-in-venue policy meant fans couldn’t capture their own footage of the shows. The concert film solves both of those problems, offering worldwide audiences a chance to experience what many are calling one of rock’s most ambitious touring productions.

Unlike Ghost’s previous film‘Rite Here Rite Now,’which blended concert footage with theatrical narrative elements,‘2 Big To Rig’is pure concert experience. It’s all about the performance, the staging, and the energy Ghost brought to those final Mexico City nights. The timing is perfect too—this film arrives as Ghost takes a well-publicized break from touring, making it feel like a proper farewell to this chapter of their career. Tickets go on sale today, and given the limited theatrical run, they’re likely to move fast. If you’re a Ghost fan or just curious about what all the Skeletour hype was about, this is your moment.

Beyond the concert film, Ghost is also expanding their multimedia presence by joining the Stage Tour video game soundtrack, so the band’s clearly building momentum across multiple platforms. Whether you catch‘2 Big To Rig’in theaters or eventually on streaming, it’s shaping up to be a must-watch for rock fans everywhere. Are you planning to see this in IMAX or wait for another release option?
