The Ministry of Sound 35th anniversary world tour will take the legendary UK brand across 35 cities in 2026. This marks 35 years at the forefront of global electronic music and club culture.
For the first time in its history, Ministry of Sound will embark on a six-continent run — expanding far beyond its South London roots and bringing its signature sound system legacy to a truly global stage.
Dubai Launch Under Ain Dubai
The tour officially begins on January 31, 2026, in Dubai, with a large-scale open-air, festival-style event staged beneath Ain Dubai — the world’s tallest observation wheel.
Leading the opening lineup are house heavyweights Dennis Ferrer and Armand Van Helden, joined by DJ Tennis and HoneyLuv. The show will also feature a special B3B set from Caiiro, Da Cap and Enoo Napa. Additionally, Aline Rocha and Dubai-based duo Arcade 82 will perform.
The Dubai launch sets the tone for what promises to be one of 2026’s most ambitious global electronic music tours.
From South London to Six Continents
Founded in 1991 inside a disused bus depot in South London, Ministry of Sound quickly became synonymous with uncompromising sound quality and club innovation.
Over three decades later, the brand has sold more than 70 million albums and welcomed over half a million annual visitors. In addition, it has generated billions of streams, cementing its position as one of the most influential club institutions in modern dance music history.
The 35-city tour reflects that evolution — spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australia throughout 2026.
A Global Celebration of Club Culture
Speaking on the announcement, Jared McCulloch, Head of Live at Ministry of Sound, described the tour as a return to the global stage:
“This tour is about taking Ministry of Sound back out into the world. For 35 years, we’ve been a benchmark for club culture…”
More than a retrospective celebration, the Ministry of Sound 35th anniversary world tour positions the brand not as a nostalgic relic. Instead, it stands as an active force in today’s electronic music ecosystem.
