Industrial Trailblazers Ministry Announce New Zealand Shows

Ministry are hurtling towards New Zealand for their first shows on these shores in more than 20 years. Last here for Big Day Out in 1995, the Chicago-born crew (led by the mercurial Al Jourgensen), are coming for two shows across Christchurch and Auckland in September that will no doubt see them bring a fistful of ferocious fan favourites from their 13-album back catalogue. Here are the details...

Update 21/08/2017: Unfortunately this tour has been cancelled. If you purchased tickets you will be contacted ASAP regarding a refund.

PRESS RELEASE:

MINISTRY, the American Industrial Metal Juggernaut led by Al Jourgensen take over New Zealand for 2 Exclusive shows this September!

This will be their first shows in NZ soil since the Big Day Out in 1995 and their side show at Powerstation! More vicious, aggressive and ferocious than ever before, get ready to lose your mind as they crush each venue!

“The crowd was a hot mess of energy. Mosh pits swirled, shoes were lost” – The Void Report

MINISTRY‘s machine-gun beats and crushing guitars make other heavy bands seem limp. Founder and frontman Al Jourgensen, dressed like a haunting voodoo priest, tears through songs with his indelicate roar and gives the band a greater aura of style and theatrics. The set list gives a nod to their past with Just One Fix, N.W.O, Psalm 69, Stigmata, Thieves, So What as well as their brutal more recent songs Punch in the Face & Lies Lies Lies.

“Jourgensen was just as crazed, sinister, enigmatic and entertaining as you could ever hope” – HeavyMag (Ministry Metro Theatre Sydney 2015 Review)

Guaranteed one of the unmissable tours this year, you need to get your ticket for MINISTRY as they take over South and North Island!.
