Ministry of Sound is taking its iconic sound global in 2026 with a landmark 35-city world tour spanning six continents, marking the first time the legendary club brand has embarked on a tour of this scale. Celebrating 35 years at the forefront of electronic music and club culture, the year-long tour will bring the Ministry of Sound experience to some of the world’s most renowned venues across Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australia.

The tour kicks off on January 31, 2026, in Dubai, with an open-air, festival-style event set beneath Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel. Leading the lineup are house music heavyweights Dennis Ferrer and Armand Van Helden, joined by DJ Tennis, HoneyLuv, and a special B3B set from Caiiro, Da Cap and Enoo Napa. Also performing are Brazilian DJ Aline Rocha, Dubai-based deep house duo Arcade 82, and more. The show runs from 2pm until 1am, with tickets available on Platinumlist from Dh156.

Founded in a disused South London bus depot in 1991, Ministry of Sound revolutionised nightlife through its obsession with sound quality and innovation. Over the past three and a half decades, it has become one of the most recognisable names in global youth culture, selling over 70 million albums, generating billions of streams, and welcoming more than 500,000 visitors annually.
