Ghost fans are in for a treat this summer. The band just announced‘2 Big To Rig,’a concert film documenting their massive‘Skeletour’world tour, hitting theaters and IMAX worldwide on August 26 for a limited theatrical run. Shot on 16mm film 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 live, complete with behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive pro-shot content from the band’s innovative phone-free tour. This marks Ghost’s second collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing following their debut feature film‘Rite Here Rite Now’in 2024.
What makes this announcement particularly significant is the context surrounding the release. Frontman Tobias Forge has publicly stated his intention to step away from live touring after the‘Skeletour’wraps, prioritizing family time with his kids. The 70-show world tour concluded in February 2026 after traversing North America, the UK, and Europe. Rather than viewing the film as a continuation of constant touring, Forge framed it as a fitting farewell to an era, allowing fans worldwide to experience the legendary shows even if they couldn’t attend in person. The title‘2 Big To Rig’reflects how the tour evolved into something far larger than initially anticipated.
Tickets go on sale July 23, 2026, and because this is a limited theatrical release, availability will likely move fast. The film promises to deliver the full Ghost live experience straight to cinema screens, giving fans a chance to relive the magic of the‘Skeletour’together on the big screen. Are you planning to catch it during its theatrical run?
