Ghost has set its second feature film, “2 Big to Rig,” for a worldwide theatrical release starting Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2026. Tickets go on sale Thursday, July 23.
Ghost’s second collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing, “2 Big to Rig” was captured live on 16mm film over the course of the band’s two sold-out shows in September 2025 at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes.
In contrast to Ghost’s 2024 film “Rite Here Rite Now,” “2 Big to Rig” focuses exclusively on the band’s live performance. It features behind-the-scenes interludes showcasing the crew members that make the band’s theatrical vision into nightly reality to the only pro-shot footage of frontman Papa V Perpetua and his band of Nameless Ghouls on the entire phone-free tour.
The title “2 Big to Rig” is a reference to Ghost calling an end to Skeletour in February 2026 after 70 shows across North America, Europe and Mexico. The film was made with the intention to share the Skeletour experience with the faithful in the territories where staging the show was not logistically feasible, as well as for the fans featured in the film who had tickets for the first of three planned Mexico City dates, which became two after night one was canceled due to illness.
Presented in IMAX where available, “2 Big to Rig” features material from Ghost’s six albums, including 2025’s global number 1 “Skeleta,” as well as non-LP favorites such as “Mary on a Cross,” “Kiss the Go-Goat” and “The Future is a Foreign Land.”
“Ghost captured the final nights of the legendary Skeletour’s first leg on 16mm film in Mexico City—creating a nostalgic experience and a fitting farewell to an era for fans,” said Kymberli Frueh, executive vice president of Content Acquisitions & Programming for Trafalgar Releasing. “We’re proud to share it with cinema audiences worldwide before GHOST takes a well-publicized break. It’s the perfect way to close such a significant chapter in the band’s history and give fans a chance to relive this moment together.”
