The stage is set, the curtains drawn, and the darkness beckons – Ghost's '2 Big To Rig' concert film is coming to UK cinemas next month, delivering an electrifying experience that will transport fans back into the heart-pounding atmosphere of their sold-out 'Skeletour'. This cinematic masterpiece, shot on 16mm film during two unforgettable nights in Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes, captures the raw energy and spectacle of Ghost's live ritual as seen by nearly 40,000 awestruck fans.
But this isn't just any concert film – it's a front-row seat to the intricate machinery that brings Papa Emeritus IV and his Nameless Ghouls' elaborate stage vision to life. For the first time on camera, viewers will witness the unseen heroes behind the scenes, working tirelessly to create an immersive experience that leaves no fan feeling left out in the cold.
The 'Skeletour', which wrapped up its demanding 70-show schedule in February this year, was a gruelling marathon of live performances that took Ghost across North America, the UK, and Europe. And now, with '2 Big To Rig' hitting screens worldwide, fans will be able to relive the magic they missed – or experience it for the first time, as if they were there at the Palacio de los Deportes on those unforgettable nights.
As Kymberli Frueh, EVP Content Acquisitions & Programming at Trafalgar Releasing, puts it, '2 Big To Rig' is a nostalgic experience and a fitting farewell to an era for fans, as Ghost takes a planned break from the spotlight. For those who were there, it's a chance to relive history in the making – and for newcomers, it's an opportunity to join the party.
