Ministry with Special Guests Filter * Announce Australian Tour

First Ever Headline Australian Tour for MINISTRY, the American Industrial Metal Juggernaut led by Al Jourgensen as they take over Australia for 5 shows this September! This will only the second time ever MINISTRY have toured Australia - Big Day Out in 1995 and Soundwave in 2015! More vicious, aggressive and ferocious than ever before, get ready to lose your mind as they crush each venue!

Plus, as an added bonus for the East Coast shows the Special Guest will be American Industrial Rockers FILTER*!

"The crowd was a hot mess of energy. Mosh pits swirled, shoes were lost" - The Void Report (Ministry Review)

MINISTRY's machine-gun beats and crushing guitars make other heavy bands seem rather faceless in comparison. 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 2015 Review)

“The militaristic speed metal of Ministry's 1989 song, Thieves, was the song of the festival” - Sydney Morning Herald (Soundwave Review)

“Uncle Al Jourgensen smashed it with his thunderous, industrial mayhem. His creepy stage antics thrilled onlookers” - scenestr.com.au (Soundwave Review)

“Uncle Al held the crowd in the palm of his hand” - HeavyMag (Soundwave Review)

“the guys ripped through a killer set, with a dynamic backdrop of amazing graphics and faux propaganda footage… a mind-bending performance” – Spotlightreport
