Ministry Of Sound Announces Huge 'Testament' Line-up In Tribute To 90s & 2000s Icons

After a hugely successful, sold-out run of Ministry Of Sound Classical in March, the electronic music tastemakers will return to Australia this August for another massive tour.

Get ready to Rock Da House in early to mid-August, because Ministry Of Sound Testament is coming. Armed with a line-up of artists in tribute to legends of 90s and 2000s electronic music, eleven shows will take place in seven cities across two weekends in Australia and New Zealand.

Testament already sold out its experiences at Vivid LIVE in 2021 and 2022, and now it’s time for these iconic warehouse shows to have a headline tour of their own.

“Over the decades, pockets of dimly lit, late night, often secretive locations around the country provided the backdrop to the cathartic ritual of dance,” a press release states. “From Australia’s acid house infancy, to the many reinventions of rave. 

“Through the 90s and the peak of 00s nightlife, communities were formed on the dancefloor, cemented over deep 4 am conversations had in the safety of a likeminded hive of excitement, escape and elation. This unmatched era of nightlife has become the stuff of folklore and legend.

 “TESTAMENT pays tribute to the sounds and the people of this club generation, and the vibrant late-night cities and cultures across the country which they cultivated.” Featuring a line-up starring Barbara Tucker (USA), Tall Paul (UK), Digitalism (GER), and many more, this is an event you don’t want to miss out on. Check out the complete line-up below.

The Ministry Of Sound pre-sale is on now. Tickets will be available to the general public tomorrow (31 May). You can get your tickets here.
