Set to kick off the year will be the likes of Ron Trent, Lauren Lo Sung, Eats Everything, Fiorella, Pete Tong, Kölsch, Zed Bias, Konstantin Sibold and more.
Ministry of Sound has unveiled the first wave of artists set to define its landmark 35th anniversary, kicking off a year-long programming that celebrates one of the most influential institutions in electronic music history. As the iconic London venue prepares for a significant transformation beginning January 2026 – reimagining both the look and feel of the club – the opening season reflects its enduring role as a global blueprint for club culture.
The initial lineup bridges generations, intertwining house and club music pioneers alongside contemporary heavyweights and rising talent. Legends like Ron Trent, Joe Claussell, Tony Humphries, Pete Tong, and Kölsch sit alongside modern staples including Darius Syrossian, Eats Everything, Riva Starr, Konstantin Sibold, and Lauren Lo Sung. True to Ministry’s roots, the roster also champions London’s next wave while embracing a wide stylistic spectrum, from UKG and house to melodic, afro-house, and global club sounds.
Spanning January through March ‘26, the opening season features milestone nights, daytime sessions, and special showcases that underline Ministry of Sound’s ability to evolve without losing its identity.
“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
