He described the collection as \u201c10 songs of hopefully healing joy\u201d, adding: \u201cI\u2019ve always tried to do something different from the previous one, so this time, I wanted to make a

It was made to share the live experience with fans outside of those territories. It is also for those who had tickets for the first of three planned Mexico City concerts, which became two after night one was cancelled due to illness.<\/p>\n<p>Kymberli Frueh, EVP Content Acquisitions &amp; Programming at Trafalgar Releasing, said: \u201cGhost captured the final nights of the legendary Skeletour\u2019s first leg on 16mm film in Mexico City \u2013 creating a nostalgic experience and a fitting farewell to an era for fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to share it with cinema audiences worldwide before Ghost takes a well-publicised break.

[My kids are] 17; they\u2019re not gonna be around for an eon,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>He previously called the no-phone rule at the \u2018Skeletour\u2019 shows \u201clife-changing\u201d, saying: \u201cJust walking off stage [on the] first night was just, like, \u2018This has completely changed the entire outlook of how this feels\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last October, Forge recalled a severe panic attack he once experienced onstage that impacted his ability to perform.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with<em>\u00a0NME<\/em> last year, he opened up about wanting to bring the \u201clore\u201d of Ghost to an end as he looked to the band\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that there might be an end to the storytelling because it\u2019s not productive to have this endless soap opera,\u201d he told us. \u201cIf fans need the lore in order to like the band, then that element will probably be over quite soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Forge shared details of Ghost\u2019s sixth and latest studio album, 2025\u2019s \u2018Skelet\u00e1\u2019, too. He described the collection as \u201c10 songs of hopefully healing joy\u201d, adding: \u201cI\u2019ve always tried to do something different from the previous one, so this time, I wanted to make a record that was based on introspection.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/ghost-announce-new-skeletour-concert-film-2-big-to-rig-cinemas-3957510&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ghost_2024_001-GENERAL-LAUNCH-SHOT.jpg&#8221;] NewsMusic News Ghost announce new \u2018Skeletour\u2019 concert film \u20182 Big To Rig\u2019, coming to cinemas &#8220;It\u2019s the perfect way to close such a significant chapter in the band\u2019s history and give fans a chance to relive this moment together&#8221; By Tom Skinner 17th July 2026 Ghost.
