Captured live over the course of GHOST’s two sold-out shows in Mexico City last year, 2 BIG TO RIG is the definitive document of the band's unforgettable SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR, presented in IMAX® in select locations. Featuring the only pro-shot footage of Papa V Perpetua and his band of Nameless Ghouls from the phone-free SKELETOUR, 2 BIG TO RIG immerses the audience in the GHOST live ritual, including exclusive behind-the-scenes and backstage access. 2 BIG TO RIG was created to share the SKELETOUR experience with the faithful in the territories where staging the show was not logistically feasible — and is a love letter to all those who have shared the GHOST ritual. Shot on 16mm film, GHOST has never looked or sounded better, ripping through material from the band's six albums — including 2025’s global #1 SKELETÁ as well as non-LP favorites including “Mary On A Cross,” “Kiss the Go-Goat,” and “The Future is a Foreign Land.”
