Ministry of Sound 35th Anniversary

Ministry of Sound Announces 2026 Resident DJs with HOME ROOTED Showcase

by

London institution Ministry of Sound announces a new resident DJ programme for 2026, introducing a cohort of artists who will play a central role in shaping the club’s sound both in London and internationally. The programme launches on 14 March with HOME ROOTED, a showcase event dedicated to the six residents representing the club for 2026.

DJ residencies have long been the backbone of club culture, including at Ministry of Sound who have famously had the likes of DJ Harvey, Tony Humphries and CJ Mackintosh over the years. Alongside those favourites, figures such as Frankie Knuckles at The Warehouse, Larry Levan at Paradise Garage and Marcel Dettmann at Berghain have demonstrated how consistent residents can define the musical identity of a venue and influence a city’s sonic culture. With this programme, Ministry of Sound places Resident DJs back at the centre of club culture.

Says Head of Talent, Travis Derrick, “Ministry of Sound has always been a place where new talent can grow into global artists. With HOME ROOTED, we’re celebrating the DJs who are part of the club’s DNA – artists who have already built a connection with our dancefloor and who we believe are ready for the next stage. This residency is about backing those artists properly and giving them the platform to represent both the club in London & on a global level.”

The residents to be announced are Paisley Jensen, Basso, Omari and Daniella Font, all of whom have previously played at the club and established themselves as reliable selectors within London’s underground circuit. Two further artists, Chanel Carmichael and Siân Own, are also part of the 2026 residency programme, focusing primarily on international appearances as part of the club’s global touring schedule.

The launch arrives as Ministry of Sound marks its 35th anniversary, with the residency programme forming part of the wider global celebrations. Alongside regular appearances in London, selected residents will represent the brand internationally through key dates on the Ministry of Sound 35 World Tour, bringing the club’s sound to audiences worldwide in locations such as Miami, Ibiza, Mykonos, Bali and more. 

The programme underscores the club’s continued commitment to its core sound and the DJs who drive it, locally and internationally.

Ministry of Sound announces the next stop in its 35-Year World Tour with a special collaboration with Hard Times for Miami Music Week. On Friday, 27th, headliners Dennis Ferrer, Derrick Carter, HoneyLuv, and more will unite at Sable Miami, a new indoor-outdoor venue with a state of the art soundsystem from 7 pm until 4 am.

The collaboration marks the next stop in Ministry of Sound’s year-long 35-city world tour spanning six continents and the first time in its history that the brand has embarked on a global run at this scale. Having launched in Dubai earlier this year with Armand Van Helden, DJ Tennis and Honeyluv, it now arrives in Miami for a collaboration with Hard Times, the UK club night and influential label that has championed US house in the UK since the early 1990s. 

“MoS has a long-standing history with Hard Times, and we’ve hosted many incredible parties together over the last 35 years,” says Jared McCulloch, Head of Live at Ministry of Sound. “We’ve recently reignited the relationship by holding quarterly events at our London home. To celebrate this renewed partnership, we felt it was only right to host a show in Miami for the esteemed Music Week as part of 35th birthday tour.“

The event will take place across the indoor vinyl listening lounge and open-air Garden at Sable Miami. Inside, the design-led space is built for immersive listening and late-night sessions, boasting a high-fidelity sound system in an intimate space. Outdoors, The Garden offers an elevated open-air setting surrounded by greenery, complete with a state-of-the-art sound system. 

Leading the bill is US house heavyweight Dennis Ferrer, the Objektivity boss known for shaping modern soulful house, alongside Chicago figurehead Derrick Carter, a long-standing architect of the genre whose influence runs from underground basements to global festival stages. The lineup also features a special b2b from HoneyLuv and FLETCH, plus Olive F alongside Chuck Daniels b2b Doorly, Misturada, Tony Deep Disco, Jake Mercer, Foz and Travis Casa, ensuring a full-spectrum journey through house’s past, present and future.

With Ministry of Sound celebrating 35 years at the forefront of global dance culture and Hard Times continuing its legacy as one of house music’s most influential imprints, this Miami Music Week collaboration promises a properly authentic session for discerning heads.

Address: 2219 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33127

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.
