Oh boy, are you guys ready for some more GHOST?! 🤯 Because, apparently, millions of you demanded it… again. The Swedish metal masters are back with their second feature film, “2 Big To Rig”, and it’s going to be a real treat for all you Nameless Ghouls out there. I mean, who needs personal space when you can have a 16mm film crew capturing every sweat drop and dramatic pose of Papa V Perpetua and his merry band of ghouls? 🎥
So, what’s the big deal about “2 Big To Rig”? Well, it’s a concert film that chronicles GHOST’s sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Palacio De Los Deportes, because one show just wasn’t enough. The film promises to transport viewers through time and space to a spot in the crowd of nearly 40,000 who witnessed those darkly magical nights in September 2025. Yeah, because we all wanted to relive that experience without actually being there. 🙄
The “Skeletour” Legacy
In contrast to 2024’s global box office Top 10 smash “Rite Here Rite Now”, “2 Big To Rig” focuses exclusively on the GHOST live ritual. From behind-the-scenes interludes showcasing the crew members who make the band’s theatrical vision into nightly reality to the only pro-shot footage of mesmerizing frontman Papa V Perpetua and his band of Nameless Ghouls on the entire phone-free tour, “2 Big To Rig” is the definitive document of GHOST’s unforgettable “Skeletour” world tour. Because, you know, the 12th time’s the charm. 🎉
But seriously, 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. Ah, the infamous “Skeletour” curse. 🤒
A Love Letter to the Faithful
“2 Big To Rig” is a love letter to all those who have shared the GHOST ritual, in-person or otherwise. Presented in IMAX where available, the feature-length concert film is both a must for those looking to relive their “Skeletour” memories and for those witnessing the spectacle for the first time. The charismatic Papa V and his supremely talented coven of nameless ghouls have never looked or sounded better than they do here, ripping through material from GHOST’s six albums — including 2025’s global No. 1 “Skeletá” as well as non-LP favorites including “Mary On A Cross”, “Kiss The Go-Goat”, and “The Future Is A Foreign Land”. Yeah, because we all need more GHOST in our lives. 🙌
According to Kymberli Frueh, EVP content acquisitions and programming at Trafalgar Releasing, “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. 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.” Wow, someone’s been reading the GHOST PR handbook. 📚
The film will be released in cinemas and IMAX worldwide, beginning Wednesday, August 26 for a limited time only. Tickets will officially be on sale Thursday, July 23.

And, in case you were wondering, GHOST did cancel three shows on the 2026 North American leg of “Skeletour” due to the state of emergency issued in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. But don’t worry, the band made it up to their fans by… well, by making a concert film. 🙏
The 2026 North American leg of GHOST’s “Skeletour” world tour kicked off on January 21 at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida, and ran through February 23 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. And, of course, the European leg of GHOST’s 2025 world tour kicked off on April 15, 2025, in Manchester, United Kingdom, and concluded on May 24, 2025, in Oslo, Norway. Because, you know, the world just can’t get enough of GHOST’s dark magic. 🔮
In May 2025, GHOST’s latest album, “Skeletá”, landed at position No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 86,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the LP’s first week of release. Wow, what an achievement. I mean, who needs artistic growth when you can just release the same album six times and call it a day? 🎸
The music video for the LP’s first single, “Satanized”, introduced the new character who fronted GHOST for its 2025 and 2026 touring cycles: Papa V Perpetua. And, of course, we all know how that turned out. 🤣
In conclusion, if you’re a die-hard GHOST fan, you’ll probably love “2 Big To Rig”. If you’re not, well… there’s always the next GHOST album to look forward to. Or the next one. Or the one after that. 🤪👏
