Ghost has announced details for the release of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to their new feature film, "2 Big To Rig."
Available to stream or download August 27 via Loma Vista Recordings, the project captures the group at Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes over two sold-out shows in September 2025 during The Skeletour World Tour.
In contrast to 2024's global box office Top 10 smash “Rite Here Right Now”, the project focuses exclusively on the Ghost live ritual. From behind-the-scenes interludes showcasing the crew members that 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.
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.
“2 Big To Rig” will screen for a limited time in theaters and IMAX cinemas starting on August 26; tickets are now on sale – for updates on screenings, showtimes, and to sign up for further information, go to 2BigToRig.com.

Ghost frontman Papa V Perpetua paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne with a 1983 classic by the iconic rocker as part of his farewell performance in Birmingham.
The singer delivered the title track to Osbourne’s “Bark At The Moon” during the event, where he joined a supergroup that featured Vernon Reid, Nuno Bettencourt, Adam Wakeman, Rudy Sarzo and Travis Barker.
The album followed “Blizzard Of Ozz” and “Diary Of A Madman” as Osbourne’s third solo project following his dismissal from Black Sabbath in 1979.
“Bark At The Moon” peaked at No. 19 on the US Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status for sales of more than 3 million copies in the region.
Prior to joining Black Sabbath for the final time, Osbourne played a 5-song set of his own while highlighting some of the most famous songs in his solo catalog.
Swedish rockers Ghost have topped the US charts for the first time with their latest record, “Skeleta.”
The band’s sixth studio set debuts on the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 1 with accrued sales of 86,000 in the week since its April 25 release via Loma Vista Recordings.
Of “Skeleta”’s first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 77,000, SEA (streaming equivalent albums) units comprise 9,000 (equaling 12.45 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA (track equivalent albums) units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across more than 15 vinyl variants, three CD variants and four cassette variants (all containing the same tracklist, but in collectible packaging).
With “Skeleta” scoring 9,000 in SEA units (12.45 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs), the group logs its biggest streaming week ever for an album as it surpasses the opening-week of “Impera” (7,000 SEA; 9.11 million streams for its songs).
In addition to being the first time a hard rock album has topped the Billboard 200 since 2020, “Skeleta” has racked up the biggest sales week for a rock, hard rock or alternative album in 2025 – as well as the biggest vinyl sales week for any hard rock LP since the dawn of the “Luminate” era in 1991 and the most for any rock album since 2023.
Currently the world's biggest-selling album and the week's lone Top 10 debut, “Skeleta” also debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Album, Vinyl Album, Indie Store Album, Independent Album, Rock Album, Rock and Alternative Album, and Hard Rock Album charts.
Internationally, the album bowed at No. 1 in the band’s native Sweden as well as Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and Finland, No. 2 in the UK, Netherlands and Norway, No. 4 in France and No. 6 in Ireland, among others.

Ghost has released an animated music video for its latest single, “The Future Is A Foreign Land.”
Written by the 3rd Papa Nihil, the newly-uncovered 1969-era song is the sole previously-unreleased studio track to be featured on the soundtrack to the group’s “Rite Here Rite Now” film.
Papa Nihil has previously been credited with writing “Kiss The Go-Goat” and “Mary On A Cross”, which were issued on the 2019 EP “Seven Inches Of Satanic Panic.”
“Rite Here Rite Now” captures Ghost over the course of a pair of sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles that also served as the two-night finale of the group’s Re-Imperatour U.S.A. 2023.
The film presents a narrative story that picks up plot threads from the band’s long-running webisode series; the result blends favorites from all five of Ghost’s albums interwoven with the silver screen debuts of a few faces familiar to the band’s legions of fans—all interacting behind the scenes with Ghost’s Papa Emeritus IV, as his future and fate lay in the hands of the Ministry.
Ghost is streaming a new animated video for “Mary On A Cross”, in conjunction with the release of the soundtrack album to the 2024 film “Rite Here Rite Now.”
The clip for the tune – which first appeared on the Swedish band’s 2019 EP, “Seven Inches of Satanic Panic” – is pulled directly from the film, which captures Ghost over the course of a pair of sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles that also served as the two-night finale of the group’s Re-Imperatour U.S.A. 2023.

Ghost released its fifth studio album, “Impera”, in 2022; the project featured the singles "Hunter's Moon", "Call Me Little Sunshine", "Twenties" and "Spillways."
The group also issued a covers EP, “Phantomime”, in 2023; the set earned a Grammy nomination for Ghost’s cover of the 1980 Iron Maiden classic, “Phantom Of The Opera.”
