“It’s the perfect way to close such a significant chapter in the band’s history.” Ghost to release tour film titled 2 Big to Rig in cinemas this August
The metal band Ghost will premiere a theatrical concert film starting August 26, with worldwide screenings and IMAX presentations available for a short period. Titled '2 Big to Rig' and directed by Amir Chamdin, the documentary captures the group performing across two consecutive sold-out nights at Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes, filmed on 16mm.
The film's release coincides with a significant transition for the band. Ghost concluded their touring commitment supporting the album Skeletá in February, after which frontman Tobias Forge announced plans to step back from live performance schedules. Forge stated the pause would allow him to prioritise family relationships and pursue new creative directions outside his primary project.
In short
- Ghost concert film '2 Big to Rig' releases in cinemas August 26 for limited theatrical run
- 16mm documentary captures two sold-out Mexico City performances, directed by Amir Chamdin
- Marks conclusion of touring cycle as frontman Tobias Forge pauses live shows for family and creative renewal
Explained simply
Ghost is a Swedish metal band fronted by Tobias Forge, recognised for its theatrical live performances and extensive international touring. The band has spent recent years supporting their album Skeletá through a major touring campaign.
That touring campaign concluded in February 2026, with final performances taking place across two nights in Mexico City. Following these shows, Forge announced he would be stepping back from live performance schedules to prioritise his family and pursue new creative directions outside the band.
The announcement marked a significant turning point for a band whose reputation is largely built on its concert performances. The Mexico City shows therefore represent a notable end to a touring cycle that had defined much of Ghost's recent career.
