The big review: Bloodstock Open Air 2025
Four days of bottomless beer, bin-jousting and blasphemy underline that Catton Park is the UK’s premier destination to bang your head as Bloodstock Open Air returns for its biggest edition yet…
Ministry have announced a run of shows across the UK and Europe this summer
Industrial maniac Al Jourgensen is returning to the UK and Europe this summer with Ministry.
Following his headline tour on this side of the pond last year with Chelsea Wolfe in support of his AmeriKKKant album, Ministry are coming back for an epic month-long run, with death metal stalwarts Dying Fetus supporting for a handful of dates.
AmeriKKKant was Ministry's first full-length on Nuclear Blast and was one of Al's most overtly political records, pointing fingers at President Donald Trump, the alt-right and fake news.
Tickets go on sale Wednesday February 27 at 10am UK time on Ticketmaster.
