MINISTRY OF SOUND LAUNCHES ‘LAST ORDERS’, A NEW IMMERSIVE DINING EXPERIENCE FEATURING MICHELIN-STARRED CHEF BRAD CARTER AND DJ RALPH LAWSON

by

This September, Ministry of Sound will launch Last Orders, a one-of-a-kind dining experience transforming its legendary dancefloor into a sensory feast in celebration of the club’s rich 35-year history. 

The first edition will take place on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th. Inspired by the club’s anniversary, it sees Michelin-starred chef Brad Carter and renowned DJ Ralph Lawson guiding guests through three decades of house music via a curated five-course menu in the heart of the nightclub.

Beginning in Chicago with an elevated take on the city’s iconic deep-dish pizza, a nod to the birthplace of house music, the menu is a playful journey through the sounds, cities and late-night food cultures that shaped the genre. Highlights include a deep-dish pizza filled with braised squid and spicy nduja, a New York-inspired lobster and prawn roll that fuses the classic East Coast favourite with Cantonese-style prawn toast, and a refined interpretation of the legendary Berlin lamb kebab, inspired by the city’s after-hours food scene and reimagined as a fine-dining tribute to one of electronic music’s spiritual homes.

As each course unfolds, Ralph Lawson charts the evolution of house music through perfectly timed Chicago, Balearic and UK house tracks, tracing a musical journey from Ministry of Sound’s roots in New York’s legendary venue, Paradise Garage, through to the present day as it marks its 35th anniversary.

Having spent his life pursuing his two passions, cooking and raving, Chef Brad Carter is a self-taught chef who built his reputation doing things differently. Carter is known for his ingredient-led approach to modern British cuisine and his ability to tell stories through food, ultimately earning a Michelin star at his restaurant Carters of Moseley in Birmingham, UK.

Carter says: “We will be bringing big energy to this iconic dancefloor in the form of a specially curated menu inspired by the greatest cultural scene that shaped me and many others since 1991.”

Equally renowned in his industry, Ralph Lawson, is one of the UK’s most respected house DJs. Having spent more than three decades behind the decks himself, Lawson is widely considered a pioneering figure of UK house music, known for his eclectic deep cuts and playful style, blending Chicago house, techno, disco, funk and more.

Lawson says: “We set out to create a menu and soundtrack that worked in perfect harmony while celebrating 35 years of the club’s history. With fond memories of coming to Ministry of Sound as a clubber myself, it’s a real pleasure to return to The Box and tell that story through music.”

Launching with a celebration of Ministry of Sound’s 35th anniversary, Last Orders is a new dining series that will return with future editions bringing together different chefs, DJs and themes, creating original collaborations between music and food. 

Tickets are priced at £250 per person and include a five-course tasting menu, cocktail pairings and an intimate post-dinner Ralph Lawson DJ set.

MINISTRY OF SOUND LAUNCHES ‘BOXED IN’ – A LIVE-STREAMED DJ COMPETITION OFFERING EMERGING TALENT A CAREER-DEFINING OPPORTUNITY

by

Ministry of Sound has announced Boxed In, a new live-streamed DJ competition designed to discover and platform the next generation of DJ talent. Filmed inside The Box, the newly renovated main room of the world’s most famous nightclub, the event takes place on 13th September and will stream on Twitch.

Boxed In pitches six emerging DJs against one another across a 12-hour live stream with six established mentor DJs guiding them through a series of challenges that test not just mixing ability but endurance, booth etiquette, crowd control and musical knowledge. 

Crucially, the audience controls the outcome in the form of live voting and real-time reactions from viewers that help to shape the challenges.

The winner receives a money-can’t-buy Ministry of Sound residency that includes global and club shows alongside a significant £25,000 worth of equipment, studio time and artist development; all the essentials any up and coming DJ needs. 

The six mentors confirmed for Boxed In are club associates old and new with Mak10, Sam Divine, G33 (Girls Don’t Sync), Fish 56 Octagon, Jakkob and Sian Owen, all forming a panel of great experience across genres and generations, and with a combined social following in the millions.

Caitlin McAllister, Managing Director at Ministry of Sound says “Ministry of Sound has always been about championing great new talent, and Boxed In is our way of doing that for a new generation of DJs. There are so many brilliant artists out there who just need the chance to be seen. We wanted to create something that gives them a real platform, puts them in front of a global audience and lets them show what they’re capable of. We’re excited to see who steps up, and hopefully play a part in launching the career of the next big name in dance music.”

Applications for the competition are now open. To apply, prospective contestants must submit a 60-second tape explaining why they should be a contestant alongside a 15-minute mix uploaded to SoundCloud. 30 applicants will be shortlisted and mentors will then go through an elimination process, ending with each mentor selecting one competitor to pair with and guide through the stream.

The concept was developed by Ministry of Sound in direct response to the barriers facing emerging DJ talent. Electronic music continues to be driven by new artists, but the routes into the industry have narrowed significantly for a multitude of reasons. ‘Boxed In’ is designed to create a visible, participatory platform for undiscovered talent and connect them with a global audience.

To apply, submit a 60-second video and a 15-minute SoundCloud mix at https://boxedin.stream/

The DJ Harvey Revives Legendary Rulin Party at Ministry of Sound for One Night Only

by

DJ Harvey is set to perform his only UK show of 2026  this summer at Ministry of Sound. Forming part of the club’s 35th anniversary programme, the event, taking place on August 22nd, also sees the return of the club’s seminal Rulin series for the first time in over a decade, marking a momentous moment in the dance music calendar. 

“It’s been 35 years since Rulin MoS was launched and I was one of its resident DJ’s. To celebrate, for one weekend only we’re bringing it back. I’ve been given the keys to the club and partnered with Ministry of Sound & Rulin’s original founder. Together we’ve put together an incredible lineup, some DJs that played Rulin way back when and others that embody the free spirit and sound of Rulin today. I’m playing an open to close set in the box and cannot wait. In 35 years time you won’t wanna say you weren’t there, trust me!” – DJ Harvey 

Intertwined both with the history of the club and DJ Harvey’s career, Rulin was a defining Saturday night series that built a cult following in the 90s. With Harvey as the central resident, the hedonistic night was known for its expansive sound and eclectic crowds, playing an influential role in the culture of London’s club scene at the end of the century. 

Now widely regarded as a singular figure in dance music, DJ Harvey’s Rulin sets at Ministry of Sound marked a formative chapter in the early development of a career that would go on to achieve near-mythical status.

Known for his marathon sets that draw on a lifetime spent immersed in music scenes all over the world, Harvey is celebrated for a defining style that is uniquely his own. His genre-spanning selections frequently traverse everything from disco to rock, techno and acid, delivered with an attitude and aura that magnetise the dance floor.

“It’s an honour to welcome back DJ Harvey for the return of Rulin. Three decades later, we’re back where it all started, in the newly renovated space. There’s no better way to celebrate the club’s history. ” – Matt Long, Club Director 

This show will be Harvey’s first appearance at Ministry of Sound since 2019 and his first London performance in over a year, uniting three pillars of London club culture and global dance history for one night only.

Ministry of Sound Undergoes Huge Renovation Ahead of 35th Anniversary Year

by

Ministry of Sound is set to undergo the most significant transformation since it opened in 1991. A complete reimagining of sound, space and light in its main room, The Box, will be undertaken throughout January 2026, with programming also stepping up to match the new levels of audio-visual immersion. This news comes as the Ministry enters its 35th year, which is a key milestone in the history of London’s nightlife and the beginning of a new era for the club.

The club will retire its legendary Martin Audio system, long regarded as a global benchmark, making way for a brand-new, custom four-point KV2 sound system consisting of KV2’s SL412 tops with a combination of VHD2.21 and VHD2.16 subs. This all promises a more powerful, immersive and detailed listening experience, setting a new standard for club sound in 2026 and beyond. 

“KV2 Audio continues to set the benchmark for high-performance club sound. This installation represents a truly world-class system — one that honours the legacy of Ministry of Sound while pushing the experience firmly into the future” Louis Jemmott – Director, Patchwork London

Elsewhere, the DJ booth will be lowered into the crowd and rebuilt as a modular structure, allowing for multiple stage formats, including 360-degree setups. It will be backed by an all new elevated backstage area surrounding the new DJ booth, and capacity will also increase by approximately 200 people, entirely reshaping both the energy and flow of the room.

Visually, the main room undergoes a dramatic evolution with a 9㎡ state-of-the-art overhead light installation and an all new video and lighting design by renowned design studio Lucid Creates, who’ve created stages and large-scale installations for the likes of Pacha Ibiza, Glastonbury and Boomtown. The vast, multi-layered metal structure suspended above the dancefloor combines reflective frameworks, integrated video screens and Lucid’s bespoke LED bar technology that will create a constantly evolving visual experience.

“To ensure the design feels cutting-edge whilst still retaining its edge, we’ve leant heavily into industrial textures and forms to inform the overall look of the space – steering away from an overly clean, overly manicured aesthetic. The result is something that will still feel distinctively ‘The Box’ but in a really interesting and imaginative way.”

Chris Carr, Founder of Lucid Creates.

The Box sets the tone for a bold new chapter with two huge reopening parties at the end of Jan with &friends’ vocal-led Afro-house sitting alongside Moeaike’s deep, percussive selections and Joezi’s soulful take on the genre on Fri 30 Jan.

Sat 31 Jan sees a high-profile back-to-back from Pete Tong and Kölsch, bringing together one of dance music’s most influential broadcasters and the Danish producer known for his emotive, big-room techno, joined by Lauren Lo Sung and Jansons, who add a refined, modern approach to house music.

“The redesign will fully transform the room into a future-facing club space while preserving its industrial spirit. The Box has always set benchmarks, particularly around sound, and this renovation allows us to reset that standard for the next generation to continue evolving the space without losing its identity.” Matt Long – Club Director, Ministry of Sound

The refurb shows Ministry of Sound’s ongoing commitment to innovation on all fronts, from production to programming and in-club experience. It’s comes as the venue embarks on the beginning of a year-long celebration to mark 35 years with a series of special shows featuring heavyweight artists such as Todd Terje, Ron Trent, Joe Claussell, Lauren Lo Sung, Eats Everything, Tony Humphries, Fiorella, Pete Tong, Kölsch, Kele Le Roc and Konstantin Sibold,reflecting the club’s enduring influence on the city’s musical identity and sonic legacy, which continues to be the blueprint for club culture across the globe.

The next chapter of Ministry of Sound begins January 2026. Tickets for the Re-opening weekend and full programme details are available at: ministryofsound.com

Ministry of Sound Celebrates 35 Years with First Names of 2026

by

Ministry of Sound unveils the first wave of artists set to soundtrack its historic 35th Anniversary Programme, marking the beginning of a year-long celebration for one of electronic music’s most influential club institutions. The opening announcements preview a milestone moment for the London powerhouse as it prepares for its most transformative year yet. After 35 years at the forefront of global club culture, Ministry of Sound is readying a new chapter that will reshape the clubbing experience, with major plans to reinvent the look and feel of the club from January 2026.

Heading up the bill are heavyweight artists whose sounds have defined generations and shaped the rhythm of London nightlife. From house legends Ron Trent, Joe Claussell and Tony Humphries to global powerhouses Pete Tong, Kölsch, Darius Syrossian, Eats Everything and more, reflecting the club’s enduring influence on the city’s musical identity and sonic legacy, which continues to be the blueprint for club culture across the globe.

Alongside the headline acts, Ministry of Sound continue to put a spotlight on London’s most vital and exciting new talent. Lauren Lo Sung brings the genre-blurring house sets that have made her a fixture on the capital’s floors, Fiorella pushes deep house and minimal sounds into fresh territory, Riva Starr and Matrefakt inject tech and house flavours, and Konstantin Sibold’s melodic techno has won him acclaim across Europe.

Landing in the new year, Blink takes over Fridays at Ministry, championing the best in melodic and afro-house. Launched with Louder, it kicks off on Friday 30th January with a headline set from afro-house artist &Friends. Building on the club’s cross-genre ethos, Blink forms part of a 2026 programme that shines a light on emerging talent and brings the world’s standout artists to London’s floors.

“Everyone at Ministry of Sound is incredibly proud of what we’ve built over the last 35 years, the nights, the artists, the energy that has defined London’s sound. But we’re also thinking ahead, about what the club could become over the next 30 years. Next year marks the start of that chapter.” – Matt Long, Club Director. 

The anniversary kicks off in January with Carnival of Sound on Friday 9, followed by celebrating 23 Years of Select Radio on Saturday 10. Mas Que Nada brings house and disco-infused energy on Saturday 17, while Sound of Garage revisits UKG classics on Friday 23. The month closes with two standout headline nights: &friends on Saturday 30 January, and a landmark back-to-back set from Pete Tong and Kölsch on Saturday 31, supported by Lauren Lo Sung and Jansons.

February continues the momentum with Hard Times hosting a rare daytime session on Saturday 7, featuring house pioneers Ron Trent, Joe Claussell and Tony Humphries. Later on in the month, URGE, Siesta, La Discothèque (celebrating 10 years), Smoove and Room Service bring a mix of underground and genre-spanning sounds, while Konstantin Sibold takes to the decks on Friday 20 February.

March rounds out the opening season with the Latin energy of BRESH on Saturday 7, global big-room star KSHMR on Friday 13, and the technicolour rhythms of Zamna Soundsystem on Friday 20. The month closes with Mak10 + Friends on Saturday 28, a showcase of grime, UKG, and UK funky celebrating the club’s underground spirit.  

The 2026 programme honours the venue’s rich history while pushing forward into new creative territory, blending heritage with innovation, legends with rising talents and London roots with worldwide reach.

Ministry Launches ‘From The Archives’, A Heritage Event Series Debuting with Legendary Club Night The Gallery

by

Tickets | Website | Instagram

From The Archives is a brand new event series that looks back on some of the club’s most recognisable and influential heritage brands. It kicks off with cult trance night The Gallery on Sat 29 Nov which returns to Ministry after a 10 year hiatus, followed by ‘Rulin’’ and ‘Frisky’ later in 2026.

Famed for its deep connection to the global trance scene and founded in 1995 by Tall Paul at London nightclub Turnmills, The Gallery has played a pivotal role in shaping the UK’s electronic music landscape. Following the sad closure of Turnmills, The Gallery made Ministry of Sound its spiritual home and ran legendary weekly events for over a decade. It was a place that showcased the very best in house and trance from a mix of legendary pioneers and new school movers and shakers, and that will be the same when it returns to Ministry of Sound.  

The rare revival invites clubbers old and new to rediscover the sounds that shaped generations of dance music lovers, right at a time when trance is very much back en vogue around the world. 

The day-into-night party will feature a heavyweight lineup of trance and progressive icons including Mauro Picotto, Sander Van Doorn, Simon Patterson, Tall Paul, Seb Fontaine and Ashley Wallbridge. Each artist brings their own perspective from different chapters of The Gallery’s storied past and together they promise a thrilling and emotional journey through the lush sounds that defined different trance eras.

The event is part of Ministry of Sound’s ongoing archival series that aims to celebrate the roots of various sub-scenes and attract both long-time Gallery loyalists and new-generation clubbers keen to experience the atmosphere and music that made the brand a cornerstone of UK club culture.

After this debut event will be more legendary revivals including Rulin’, the pioneering house Saturday nighter that launched at Ministry Of Sound in London in 1994 and was instrumental in championing American house music. 

From The Archives will honour the legacy of the Friday night Gallery sessions that made Ministry a global destination for trance fans.

Part 01: The Gallery

Sat 29th Nov | 1pm – 9pm

Acts: Mauro Picotto, Sander Van Doorn, Simon Patterson, Tall Paul, Seb Fontaine, Ashley Wallbridge.

Peak Moods Announces Free Courtyard Party with Play Piem, Better Listening and Wing Stop at Ministry of Sound

by

Thursday 18 September

Ministry of Sound, 6pm-10pm, Free Entry

Sign up for free tickets here; https://itspeakatministry.london/

Ministry of Sound has teamed up with Peak, the game-changing new ‘Mood Drink’ brand that’s fuelling a new generation of artists, thinkers and makers, to create a one-of-a-kind party with two different experiences reflecting the two different drinks, Hype and Calm. Together, they are blending music, art, nightlife, wellness and innovation to showcase some of London’s most exciting cultural elements, bringing them under one roof in a truly multi-faceted collaboration. 

Following Ministry adding a fresh no/lo option by putting Peak Hype and Calm behind all four bars and in the Green Room, the event series collaboration launches with a free and immersive “Choose Your Mood” Courtyard Party during Freshers’ Week on Thursday 18 September. The unique experience brings together a fresh lineup of DJs, food, fashion, and art to celebrate individuality, mood expression and creativity. 

Says Joe (Head of Marketing) at Ministry of Sound, “Ministry has always been about pushing culture forward and creating spaces where music, creativity and community collide. Partnering with Peak allows us to explore that in fresh ways, bringing music, creativity and individuality together under one roof. We were particularly drawn to Peak due to its positioning as a  “Mood Drink” –  with the two signatures ‘Hype’ and ‘Calm’. This launch party will explore both of these and is just the start of what promises to be a really exciting journey…There’s plenty more to come.”

Set across two rooms at Ministry of Sound, the event is designed to reflect Peak’s two signature drinks: Hype and Calm. Far from your average energy drink, Peak is a “Mood Drink” designed to support and heighten your state of mind and wellbeing. Whether you’re in the studio, the gym or getting ready for a night out, Peak lets you choose your mood with Hype for dopamine-driven focus and lift, and Calm for serotonin chill and clarity. Both function as stand-alone drinks or as the base for the perfect cocktail and are backed by real science.

Says Louie from Peak, “We created Peak to give people a choice in how they feel – whether you want to dial up with Hype or dial down with Calm. It’s for people who want to have fun and party without sacrificing their health, a drink that fits the studio, the gym or a night out. Teaming up with Ministry lets us bring that idea to life in a way people can actually experience.”

Hype in the Courtyard is for Peak party vibes hosted by Play Piem, who bring their full sound system and since launching in 2022 have been a driving force in the new era of Black British nightlife known for platforming exciting new talent in Paris, London and NYC. Adding extra levels and vibes in the Courtyard will be Wingstop who will serve up their legendary chicken wings free of charge, exclusive tattoos by The London Social and custom grillz by Loud Mouth. The first 100 attendees will also receive a free glass of Champeak plus more exclusive giveaways throughout the night.

Calm in The Box, meanwhile, is a bold and never done before transformation of a world renowned club environment into a cosy and intimate candle-lit listening space. This unique listening experience is for introspection and laid-back grooves from Better Listening, which was created by David, co-founder of No Signal And Recess, and has an obsession for high quality and focused listening sessions in soulful spaces. Special guests Channel One will be putting the legendary 6-point Martin Audio sound system through its paces with a fine curation of seriously heavyweight roots and rare dubs. Add in luxury candles by Cent and visuals by Kino Studios and you have a seductive sensory experience like no other. 

The Ministry of Sound × Peak partnership continues with a string of creative moments through Autumn 2025 including a Peckham Cornershop takeover and VIP Takeover at the Mak 10 Show at Ministry of Sound.

DJ Fat Tony Celebrates Pride at Ministry with Full LGBTQ+ Line-Up

by

Ministry of Pride will take place on July 5th at the South London Superclub

On 5 July, Ministry of Pride returns with a statement of sound that is bold, loud and unapologetically queer. Taking over all rooms of Ministry of Sound, an all-LGBTQ+ lineup featuring Fat Tony, Catz ‘N Dogz, FAFF, Josh Harrison, Princess Julia, Reenie, Tete Bang and NOT BAD FOR A GIRL to remind everyone what Pride is really about: freedom, identity and a full spectrum of self-expression at London’s Ministry of Sound.

Leading the charge is DJ Fat Tony, a true legend in UK nightlife who has long been a tastemaker, provocateur, and author. The recently married queer icon continues to break barriers in a scene still dominated by straight male energy, not least with his recent signing to Defected. 

His eclectic and essential DJ sets are raw, electric, and have seen him hold residencies from Limelight to Ibiza, play Glastonbury and Glitterbox, and soundtrack Versace runways. On the day of the party, he drops the first single from HARD CAMP, a new collaborative EP with KDA, his longtime peer, creative partner, and friend. 

Joining him are Polish house music heavyweights Catz N Dogz, London duo FAFF, nightlife legend Princess Julia, dynamic selector Josh Harrison, alt-pop performer Reenie, drag icon Tete Bang, and genre-crushing collective Not Bad For A Girl, all of whom proudly part of the LGBTQ+ community.

From hard house and vogue beats to disco attitude and underground fire, Ministry of Pride is a celebration of queer joy and a resistance to normalisation you don’t want to miss.
