on a luxury cruise liner; Ministry of Sound Tours put’s on over 500 events a
year, thus truly pioneering the global music scene.
Ministry of Sound on tour is about putting on events with the world’s most
revered artists, we take our cutting edge sound of our legendary Saturday
London club night and take it global.
MINISTRY OF SOUND TOUR
Ministry of Sound – the club – opened in London in September 1991 and has
since established a cult following among clubbers worldwide.
Celebrating its 15th Birthday this year, the venue remains at heart of the
brand as it’s where the story began and has also been the catalyst for the
company’s many brand ventures and extensions.
Inspired by the US house music movement James Palumbo, Ministry of
Sound’s founder and visionary, established Elephant & Castle in London as
the venue’s location and opted for an unused bus depot for its infrastructure
due to its raw and unkempt warehouse character that was the dominant
clubbing environment of the early 90’s.
The vision was to import many of the world’s most famous DJ’s to the UK
enabling dance music fans access to the music they adored and the DJ’s that
played and produced it. A vision that has become ingrained into the Ministry
of Sound philosophy, as the brand now enables dance music fans worldwide
access to their favourite form of music via a number of channels including
internet, radio, mobi e, albums, singles, global tours and venues in London,
Egypt and Singapore .
For many years Ministry of Sound, London has been hailed as the ‘House of
House’ as DJ input and musical output has always concentrated on the many
genres of house music. As dance music has evolved, the club output has
consistently been at the forefront of the scene with its DJ line up and musical
policy delivering over and above the clubbing call of duty. Ministry of Sound is
the only club in London to currently hold EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCIES with Pete
Tong, Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg, DJ Sneak, Smokin Jo, Nic Fanciulli,
Yousef, Mark Knight & Steve Angello.
Saturday nights at Ministry of Sound have consistently remained loyal to the
house music circuit with the current ‘Saturday Sessions’ inviting clubbers
from far and wide to indulge in the many genres’ that house music employs -
all played by the world’s most revered and talented DJ’s and producers.
