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.
